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

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 11 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They took Maason Smith at par in slot 104, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at the 138th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in the 162nd pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
