Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Austin Siereveld at the 156th pick, roughly 30 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Harbor pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 17th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
They jumped the gun on Sonny Styles, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They did well to land Tacario Davis in pick No. 117, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick156 Rnd5 Austin Siereveld
A big swing on Austin Siereveld at the 156th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway at slot 195 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Rueben Owens
Rueben Owens in slot 230 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
