Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-.

The Cardinals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 19th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nothing to complain about; Ruke Orhorhoro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A curious use of No. 90. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Caelen Carson did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
