Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the 16th pick they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
