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

The Cardinals did not so much draft Seth McLaughlin as overpay for him, 53 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 16th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in pick 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 78 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at Round 7, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
