Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Bullock: B+.

The Cardinals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Bullock at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 5th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 27 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 7 with a little surplus value in Kiran Amegadjie. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Baker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
They barely believed it either: Calen Bullock still on the board at pick 104. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
