Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Shemar Turner, 39 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Gabriel pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell

In Round 1, Pick 16 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick47 Rnd2 Shemar Turner

Shemar Turner at the 47th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.

Chris Paul Jr. at the 78th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick115 Rnd4 Deone Walker

Deone Walker in slot 115 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick152 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel

Dillon Gabriel at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
