Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still glaring, the Cardinals used the 71st overall pick on Mike Sainristil, a cornerback they were not exactly short of.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 27 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 35th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Washington at slot 90, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
