Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Loveland fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Colston Loveland slides to pick 47, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Somehow Colston Loveland was still sitting there in No. 47, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They did well to land Isaiah Bond in the 78th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in the Round 4 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 152nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 225 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
