Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: B. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Cardinals' quarterback, full stop.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in Round 2, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
