Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ahmed Hassanein; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 107 spots ahead at Round 3, Pick 31. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Hairston pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and the 47th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 78 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in the 95th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to slot 113, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Circle this one: Maxwell Hairston at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Steal is underselling it; Carson Schwesinger at pick 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
