Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Newton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
