Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Judkins: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Quinshon Judkins got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at slot 142. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Monheim pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 8 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 70th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
