Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Monroe Freeling; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 75 spots ahead at No. 34. The final tally is a middling C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

If Caleb Downs and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 3rd pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the 34th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
