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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Worthy. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 8 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slipping to pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to the 66th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in pick No. 74, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 104 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kalen King
A straight-up fair deal on Kalen King at slot 138, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick162 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
