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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Jihaad Campbell slide 40 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Grant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 16th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They reached into another round for Charles Grant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in the 113th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 151 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
