Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Revel Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Shavon Revel Jr., the No. 26 name on the board, stolen at slot 47.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Zabel reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in the 47th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
A straight-up fair deal on Shemar Turner at the 78th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in pick No. 115 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 152 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A reach for Cam Jackson in pick 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
