Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
