Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt at pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
