Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 105 lands the Cardinals a B, Newton and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Josh Newton slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 105th pick. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Taliese Fuaga in Round 2, Pick 3, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 71st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in pick No. 90, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Circle this one: Josh Newton at No. 105 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
