Overall B

ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Leonard: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Riley Leonard fell into pick No. 225. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Every board in the league had Schwesinger lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons

In pick 16 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick47 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger

A real head-scratcher, Carson Schwesinger in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick78 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas

You do not let a cornerback like Azareye'h Thomas reach Round 3, Pick 14 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick115 Rnd4 Jared Wilson

A tidy bit of business in No. 115, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Pick152 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom

Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at pick No. 152 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.

Pick225 Rnd7 Riley Leonard
