Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Cardinals let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Tez Johnson slide 58 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 16 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Booker at pick 51 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the 113th pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at the 151st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
