Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cardinals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They will need Allen to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Cardinals indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Dallas Turner and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 13 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in the 35th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 39 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 66, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 77th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 133 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
