Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
No edge and no loss on Terrion Arnold in the 11th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 23 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
