Draft Grade — Cardinals

Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cardinals a B, Cowing and all. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Jacob Cowing, the No. 127 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 162nd pick.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in pick No. 35. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A slide stopped in the 64th pick, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis in slot 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the 116th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 131st pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Brennan Jackson in pick 138, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153
Rnd5
Erick All
They robbed the room for Erick All here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in pick No. 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A tidy little value on Braiden McGregor in the 173rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
You do not let an offensive lineman like Walter Rouse reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
They took Steele Chambers at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
