Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The McLaughlin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
A reach on Earnest Greene III in pick 40; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in the 72nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Theo Wease Jr. at Round 5, Pick 8. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd6 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell is a better player than the 168th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Value said wait; Seth McLaughlin in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
