Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 23 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
