Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals let Delp fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Oscar Delp, the No. 133 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 183rd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They will need Kelly to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 3 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
KC Concepcion
They let KC Concepcion come to them and pounced at pick No. 34. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 65th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
They paid up for Beau Stephens at pick 143 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
A real head-scratcher, Jack Kelly in Round 7, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
