Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueF NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Johnson, and a D+, for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Avery Johnson as overpay for him, 193 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That Bobo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Everything downstream of Avery Johnson depends on Avery Johnson, and the building knows it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Avery Johnson
In the 3rd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
Ryan Coleman-Williams in slot 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Isaac Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Brown this early at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 LJ McCray
LJ McCray at Round 4, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway at the 141st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Desmond Umeozulu
A real head-scratcher, Desmond Umeozulu in pick No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Drew Bobo
Steal is underselling it; Drew Bobo at the 217th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
