Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Tommy Mellott at Round 7, Pick 32, roughly 91 spots before his name belonged.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Bond to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 78; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 113th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 151st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott in slot 248 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
