Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will need King to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 16 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in slot 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar Turner. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kobe King
They paid a round early for Kobe King in Round 4, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Slater went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They paid up for Jabbar Muhammad at the 225th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
