Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
A war room that did its homework. Cardinals: A-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.

Courtland Sutton gives the group a proven body among the projects. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in No. 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick27 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 35, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 66th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 7. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 90 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 106th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in pick No. 121, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 136 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
