Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A reach for Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 47th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in No. 78, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
No edge and no loss on Nohl Williams in pick 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at Round 5, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
By-the-book stuff, Kobe Hudson at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
