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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Vernon Broughton; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 61 spots ahead at the 78th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No drama and no debate, Trey Amos went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
They reached into another round for Vernon Broughton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A conviction pick on Jeffrey Bassa at pick 115 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
