Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB+
NeedB-

FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.
On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
