Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Pearsall pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Braswell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 11 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slid further than he should have, and the 66th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A quiet steal in pick No. 70: Ricky Pearsall for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brandon Dorlus in No. 90. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
