Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Torricelli Simpkins III, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A big swing on Cam Skattebo at slot 78, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A straight-up fair deal on Dorian Strong at pick 115, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick152 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 5, Pick 14 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 234 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
