Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Ty Robinson selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 82 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Howard that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick No. 78 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They went early on Cody Simon in slot 115, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Will Howard
Circle this one: Will Howard at the 152nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ West
Nice patience on CJ West, who had no business lasting to pick 225. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
