Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Devin Neal tumbling to the Cardinals in slot 115 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 16th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in pick 47, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the 115th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
