The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

However the rest shakes out, Membou at that price is a win they earned. The Green pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Mike Green · DE-EDGE · rank 34
In the 16th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 53
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at slot 47, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 65
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 14, where Armand Membou graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.12 · Pick 113 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 112
Chris Paul Jr. in the 113th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
