Draft Grade — Cardinals

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Matt Gulbin; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 37 spots ahead at the 141st pick.

The Igbinosun steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion in pick No. 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
A tidy little value on Josiah Trotter in pick 65, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
They paid up for Jude Bowry at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matt Gulbin well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in No. 181 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
No drama and no debate, Miles Kitselman went about where he belonged in slot 217. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
