CowboyFan1960 DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Haulcy. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Colton Hood
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colton Hood at pick No. 34 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at pick 65 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104
Rnd4
Taurean York
They paid sticker price for Taurean York in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141
Rnd5
Skyler Gill-Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 141, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181
Rnd6
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 181st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jeremiah Wright
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Wright in Round 7, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
