Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Reaching for Leonard left real value on the table behind him. The Campbell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 16 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at the 47th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
The board had cheaper options than Riley Leonard at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Fair-plus on Mitchell Evans, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
