Draft Grade — Cardinals

Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at running back, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

That Slaughter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 3 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A straight-up fair deal on Caden Curry at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Josh Moten
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Moten. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 217, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
