Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Vernon Broughton. He came off 79 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCord. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 16th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at No. 47 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the 78th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
