Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Simeon Barrow Jr. at slot 114 regardless, 62 picks early.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 47th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Simeon Barrow Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Simeon Barrow Jr. in Round 4, Pick 13, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at the 153rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
