Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Powers-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
