Reheheheheh DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Karon Prunty at pick 217, a reach of 119 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
On value alone, Barber makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Moten is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
David Bailey
In the 3rd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton in Round 2, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Colton Hood
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Colton Hood in pick No. 65, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104
Rnd4
Josh Moten
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent pick 104 on Josh Moten, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick141
Rnd5
Austin Barber
Circle this one: Austin Barber at slot 141 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd7
Karon Prunty
They reached a country mile for Karon Prunty at No. 217, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
