Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Sai'vion Jones, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 17 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 20th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than the 47th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No drama and no debate, Emery Jones Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 115. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in No. 119, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
