Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Cohen 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. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 27th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in Round 2, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in slot 71, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 90th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A conviction pick on Leonard Taylor III at pick 104 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at pick No. 133, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
