Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cardinals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Washington.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They took Chop Robinson at par in the 35th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 7. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They let Christian Mahogany come to them and pounced at pick 90. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Washington in the 133rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
