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

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cost of the Conerly Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Getting Campbell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josh Conerly Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They read the board right and Jihaad Campbell was the payoff at pick No. 47. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 78, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
