Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB

FutureC
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The cost of the Cole reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A slide stopped in No. 66, with Kiran Amegadjie worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
The board had Chris Braswell higher than slot 71, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at pick 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 140 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint is a better player than the 155th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They paid up for Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
Nice patience on JD Bertrand, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maurice Smith this early at the 225th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in slot 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
