Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
Larceny in slot 83 lands the Cardinals a B, Starks and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 20 name on the board, stolen at the Round 3 slot.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 51 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
