Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Carter: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how DeWayne Carter got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at slot 133. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. It is not that Newton is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They did well to land Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 4, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 27th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 3, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 71st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and linebacker to take Josh Newton, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
They robbed the room for DeWayne Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Daijun Edwards for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 13, with Javon Baker worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Nice patience on Kenny Logan Jr., who had no business lasting to the 225th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
They went early on Kedon Slovis in the 227th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
