Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Cardinals: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Shemar Turner, 38 picks ahead of schedule. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Howard value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
They reached a country mile for Jonah Savaiinaea at the 16th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 78 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 152nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 225 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
