Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Nazir Stackhouse. He came off 80 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in No. 47, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reach for Danny Stutsman in the 78th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 4, Pick 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They liked Dorian Strong enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 153. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
