Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 35, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 71st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
No drama and no debate, Jonah Elliss went about where he belonged in slot 90. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A clean, defensible pick in the 104th pick with a little surplus value in MarShawn Lloyd. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Gould at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick No. 162 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They took Tahj Washington at par in slot 186, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 226 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
