Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals let Bullard fall into their laps, and walked away with a 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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bullard. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Stefon Diggs leading the way. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 29th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in the 60th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 71 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 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at No. 90 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They barely believed it either: Mekhi Wingo still on the board at slot 92. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 104th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 133rd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick 140 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
