Draft Grade — Cardinals

ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Landon Jackson, the No. 25 name on the board, sitting there at the 47th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

The board fumbled Landon Jackson all the way to slot 47, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
