aarg DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 41 picks early on Vernon Broughton, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Collins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In the 16th pick they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 47 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Somehow Alfred Collins was still sitting there in slot 78, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
They reached into another round for Quincy Riley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
