Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Cardinals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Beebe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Jared Verse slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 48 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Fair-plus on Sedrick Van Pran, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A reach for TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 10; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at pick 79 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
