Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Cardinals this weekend: D+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Knox, 61 picks early at the 162nd overall pick. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A tidy little value on Bralen Trice in the 66th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at the 90th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick162 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick No. 162 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
