Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

There is reaching, and then there is Vernon Broughton at Round 4, Pick 13. The Cardinals jumped the board by 43 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Lacy makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 47 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They did well to land Omarr Norman-Lott in the 78th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vernon Broughton this early at pick No. 114. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
