Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Sellers is the Cardinals' new face under center. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Cardinals handed the keys to LaNorris Sellers, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The cost of the Graves reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Greene III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
A premium they did not need to pay, Arvell Reese a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Trevor Goosby
They read the board right and Trevor Goosby was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in No. 109 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in the 151st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick194 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at the 194th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 228 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
