Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jahvaree Ritzie at pick 225, a reach of 52 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at slot 16 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in No. 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nick Nash
By-the-book stuff, Nick Nash at the 152nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jahvaree Ritzie this early at the 225th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
