Vikings DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.
Price at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Isaiah World
They paid sticker price for Isaiah World in slot 39, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
A.J. Harris
A straight-up fair deal on A.J. Harris at pick No. 70, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105
Rnd4
C.J. Fite
No drama and no debate, C.J. Fite went about where he belonged in No. 105. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price slid further than he should have, and the 148th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
Good price on Jaren Kanak in the 221st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
