Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Chico Bennett Jr. in the 78th pick, a good 384 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Landing Sampson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 47th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Chico Bennett Jr.
Chico Bennett Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Parrish at slot 115, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 152 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Dylan Sampson
You do not let a running back like Dylan Sampson reach pick 225 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
