Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 90 picks early on Barryn Sorrell, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They paid up for Barrett Carter at pick No. 64 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They liked Jalen Milroe enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 78. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slid further than he should have, and slot 81 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick96 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 96th overall pick, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slipping to Round 4, Pick 13 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
