Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Darius Robinson, 55 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 27th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at Round 2, Pick 3. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They did well to land Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 71, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than slot 90 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
