Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
Getting Banks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If Fano pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In No. 3 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick No. 34 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
