Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals let Baker fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

Somebody took the Cardinals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Baker to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 27th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Morgan at slot 35 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at the 37th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at No. 66. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They did well to land Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 188 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Javon Baker
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Javon Baker in the 222nd pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
