Rizz DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: 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.
The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 23 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 27th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. A minor need, but a need all the same.
