McPatriot22 DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals landed square in the muddy middle: C+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Nazir Stackhouse, 127 picks early at the Round 3 slot.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. 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.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In the 16th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in No. 47, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kobe King
They paid a round early for Kobe King in Round 4, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
They reached a country mile for Tyler Cooper at pick 152, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
