Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

Nobody had Nazir Stackhouse this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 40 spots to get him at the 153rd overall pick.

Carter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in the 47th overall pick with a little surplus value in T.J. Sanders. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No drama and no debate, Tai Felton went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 14. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in the 153rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
