Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 78 on Jake Majors a full 57 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They took Kenneth Grant at par in slot 16, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 47 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at No. 115 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at the 152nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They will replay Caleb Rogers at Round 7, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
