Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 7: the Cardinals steal Brooks and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Jonathon Brooks slides to pick 71, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 2. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 71st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 DJ James
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ James at the 90th overall pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
