Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ 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.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will need Proctor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 8 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Connor Lew
No edge and no loss on Connor Lew in Round 2, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
By-the-book stuff, A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 70 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than slot 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry slid further than he should have, and the 148th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the 186th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Nwokobia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
