Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 4 slot is 100 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 26th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No edge and no loss on Chop Robinson in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at the 120th pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Nice patience on Jarrian Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 133. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and the 140th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
