Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Emmanwori from sliding. Grade: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at No. 47. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 16th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
