Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Landing Skattebo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
No edge and no loss on Mykel Williams in pick No. 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A slide stopped in the 114th pick, with Cam Skattebo worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Pat Bryant at slot 153. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
