UROSM023 DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.
The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board had Kool-Aid McKinstry higher than the 35th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Good price on Malachi Corley in slot 66, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
