Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 22 picks early on Sam Brown Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid up for Azareye'h Thomas at the 47th pick when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Barrett Carter. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in pick No. 152, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Brown Jr. in Round 7, Pick 9, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
