Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 151st overall pick lands the Cardinals a B, Ratledge and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tate Ratledge tumbling to the Cardinals in slot 151 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 16th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 47th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They read the board right and Jaylin Noel was the payoff at pick 113. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 151 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
