Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Turner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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 Josh Simmons
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in pick 78, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A reach for Shemar Turner in pick No. 114; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 153 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
