Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Myles Jones, the No. 204 name on the board, stolen at No. 227. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Steele to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Alt. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A reach on Byron Murphy II in the 35th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A tidy little value on Javon Bullard in the 71st overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than pick 90 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
No edge and no loss on Kamal Hadden in slot 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 140 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Stogner at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Value said wait; Carson Steele in pick 225 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
