Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ioane should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Olaivavega Ioane sat on the board until slot 150, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

The Traore pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 11 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick42 Rnd2 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 42nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore at slot 73 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Fair-plus on Brendan Sorsby, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in No. 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dane Key
They paid a round early for Dane Key in Round 6, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A big swing on Ricardo Hallman at pick No. 225, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
