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

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 4 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
