Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Cardinals. For now, C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent pick No. 78 on Tyler Shough, a name the board had a full 74 spots lower.

On value alone, Schwesinger makes the weekend a net positive. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Armand Membou and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 16th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in the 47th pick with a little surplus value in T.J. Sanders. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
They reached into another round for Tyler Shough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in slot 113, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 151 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
