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

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

That Helm pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 16th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at Round 2, Pick 15 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gunnar Helm in pick No. 78. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
