Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cardinals let Thrash fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Jamari Thrash, the No. 170 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 7 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 17th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 35th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Good price on Jermaine Burton in pick 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at slot 73 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at No. 103, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
No drama and no debate, Beaux Limmer went about where he belonged in pick 133. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A conviction pick on Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 165, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Joshua Gray a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jamari Thrash
They will replay Jamari Thrash at No. 227 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
