Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 28 picks early on Earnest Greene III, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Haulcy at that price is a win they earned.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
No edge and no loss on Arvell Reese in the 3rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in pick No. 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at No. 65 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick141 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick 141 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at Round 6, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in slot 217, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses in pick No. 224 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
