Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Tampa: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched T.J. Tampa slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 10 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 3 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braden Fiske in the 66th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in No. 71, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caelen Carson adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in the 105th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
