Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Lacy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will need Conerly Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 47. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They did well to land Omarr Norman-Lott in the 78th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in No. 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at slot 153 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
