Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Ty Robinson, 47 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Jones Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Sanders in the 47th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at pick No. 225 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
