Reheheheheh DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueD+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cardinals, and a C+ to match. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ben Taylor-Whitfield, 251 picks early at pick 252. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
Wilson II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
If Cam Coleman and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Cam Coleman
In slot 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jelani McDonald
A big swing on Jelani McDonald at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick42
Rnd2
Terry Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Terry Moore at safety with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick77
Rnd3
Damon Wilson II
Damon Wilson II at Round 3, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114
Rnd4
T.J. Moore
T.J. Moore in pick 114 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker at pick No. 150 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Eryx Daugherty
Eryx Daugherty at the 234th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ben Taylor-Whitfield
They reached a country mile for Ben Taylor-Whitfield at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
