Draft Grade — Cardinals

ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kobe Hudson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at the 151st pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Stutsman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 16 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They went early on Marcus Mbow in slot 47, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in Round 3, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 114 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kobe Hudson in the 151st overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
