Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C-
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C- for the Cardinals.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the 50th overall pick on Marcus Dumervil, a name the board had a full 280 spots lower.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Cross III makes the weekend a net positive.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 18th pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Dumervil
A big swing on Marcus Dumervil at pick No. 50, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kevin Jennings
Value said wait; Kevin Jennings in Round 3, Pick 18 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Nice patience on Howard Cross III, who had no business lasting to the 119th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
