Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Worthy: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Worthy, No. 66, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Abrams-Draine pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at pick No. 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board fumbled Patrick Paul all the way to pick 71, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Value with a capital V on Johnny Wilson in slot 85, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at the 90th pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. is a better player than No. 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
