Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
The Green pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Mike Green
Mike Green slid further than he should have, and No. 47 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
