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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Mose Vavao at Round 7, Pick 9 is 103 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Collins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 16 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They took Marcus Mbow at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the 78th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in the 115th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in No. 152, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mose Vavao
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mose Vavao well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
