Max crosby DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals

The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Allar: B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Drew Allar, the No. 68 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 108th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Every board in the league had Grant lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Value said wait; Kenneth Grant in pick No. 41 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
TJ Ferguson
The board had cheaper options than TJ Ferguson at pick 72, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll in the 150th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Zach Rice
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zach Rice well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
