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

Of all the ways to open, the Cardinals chose the head-scratcher, spending the 111th overall pick on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still wide open. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In No. 11 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A clean, defensible pick in the 42nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Jake Slaughter. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
No edge and no loss on A.J. Haulcy in the 73rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick150 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at slot 187 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Amare Campbell. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
