Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Eboigbe from sliding. Grade: B+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Justin Eboigbe, the 188th pick, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, tight end and other spots. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If Vaki pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The Ed Ingram pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 11 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 28th pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at Round 3, Pick 2 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 90 on Khyree Jackson with quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick105
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at No. 105 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in the 130th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
A tidy little value on Mohamed Kamara in the 137th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in slot 161 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick188
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
They robbed the room for Justin Eboigbe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Circle this one: Jaylan Ford at No. 222 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
