Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They will need Thomas to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Bech at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid up for Azareye'h Thomas at No. 47 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Bech at the 78th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
