Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals fought the board and lost. D.

Nobody had Tyreem Powell this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 294 spots to get him at pick 16.

Landing Grant that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyreem Powell
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick47 Rnd2 Sam Brown
A big swing on Sam Brown at pick 47, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Warren Brinson
They reached a country mile for Warren Brinson at Round 4, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 152nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
