Ethanbri08 DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-. There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They banked enough surplus on Moore Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Perkins Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the 17th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value.
Pick49
Rnd2
Taurean York
No edge and no loss on Taurean York in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jyaire Hill
They paid sticker price for Jyaire Hill in No. 117, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156
Rnd5
DeAndre Moore Jr.
Value with a capital V on DeAndre Moore Jr. in slot 156, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tristan Leigh. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at the 230th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
