Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Shemar Turner, 76 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 16 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They went early on Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 114, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in the 153rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
