Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took J.C. Davis a full 22 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Leavitt falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 12 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
They read the board right and Sam Leavitt was the payoff at No. 74. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A big swing on J.C. Davis at pick 109, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Good price on Duce Robinson in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
They took Cam Calhoun at par in slot 194, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bear Alexander this early at the 228th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
