Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Rourke value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 16th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Conerly Jr. in Round 2, Pick 15. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in slot 78, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 152 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Value with a capital V on Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
