Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The McLaughlin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Landing McCord that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 2, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A clean, defensible pick in the 78th pick with a little surplus value in Omarr Norman-Lott. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They read the board right and Kyle McCord was the payoff at pick No. 132. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They paid a round early for Seth McLaughlin in pick 152, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They took Phil Mafah at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
