Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

They are betting Royals proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 2, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
