GreenReaper DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals

The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Leonard: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Riley Leonard had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They are betting Zabel proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In the 16th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at slot 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 78th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tai Felton at the Round 4 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at No. 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
