Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Jawhar Jordan at the 103rd pick is 172 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They banked enough surplus on Irving to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 2 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick No. 9 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick10
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 10th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 18 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 19th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick23
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In slot 23 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24
