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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Quinn Carroll at the 225th pick is 77 spots clear of where he belonged.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Booker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 16th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and pick 47 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 78, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They talked themselves into Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 14, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
A wild overpay on Quinn Carroll in No. 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
