Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cardinals let Smith-Wade fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cardinals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They are betting Reed proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Smith-Wade pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 66th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick 100 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Max Melton
A slide stopped in pick No. 105, with Max Melton worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 AJ Barner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, AJ Barner at Round 5, Pick 8. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at the 191st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Taking Dominic Lovett in slot 223 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at the 256th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
