Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Cooper slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at No. 225. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Savaiinaea reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 47th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in pick 78, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They paid a round early for Cody Simon in the 115th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Shough went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in pick No. 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
