CJinVic DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Landing Harmon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Derrick Harmon at No. 47 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gunnar Helm in the 78th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Chris Paul Jr. at slot 113 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
