Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueD
NeedA

FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Travis in the fold, and a C+ for the Cardinals. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Jordan Travis a full 105 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.
Whatever Jordan Travis becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordan Travis
In the 27th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
