Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Moss: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Miller Moss, the No. 62 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 108. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Cross III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 10 they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at No. 41 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Miller Moss
They robbed the room for Miller Moss here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Antonio Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Antonio Williams in pick No. 150. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick 186 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
