Awesome1Stevocreations DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals did enough to get by: C+. The war room fell hard for Riley Leonard, and it showed at No. 51: 84 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
The Mondon Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at No. 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 3, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 120 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Belton. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at slot 195, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
