Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Cardinals. For now, C+.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Brady Cook, 88 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

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

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Marcus Mbow
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 78 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at pick 113. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
