Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 23 picks early on Quinn Ewers, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That Beck pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 17 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 2, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in the 81st overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Carson Beck
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Carson Beck in the 118th pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at No. 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
