Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesD FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cardinals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
A tidy little value on Malik Nabers in the 11th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
