Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Anthony Belton at slot 78, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Mason Graham at Round 1, Pick 16 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 47 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Anthony Belton in No. 78, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
