Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Every board in the league had Davis lower, and that gap is the story. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Frazier. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They did well to land Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in the 27th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick No. 35, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 66th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
The board had Zach Frazier higher than No. 71, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They liked Tyler Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 104. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in slot 162 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at No. 186, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A tidy little value on Trey Knox in pick No. 226, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
