Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the 40th pick on Ajani Cornelius, a name the board had a full 26 spots lower.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mason Graham
They did well to land Mason Graham in the 8th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ajani Cornelius this early at pick No. 40. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
