Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Golday from sliding. Grade: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Golday fell into pick No. 104.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Wheatley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick 3 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Colton Hood
They read the board right and Colton Hood was the payoff at No. 34. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Value said wait; Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 104th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at Round 5, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Fair-plus on DJ Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Good price on Jimmy Rolder in slot 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
