Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Tampa should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: T.J. Tampa, the No. 51 name on the board, stolen at the Round 3 slot.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 27 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 35th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A want over a need in No. 90: T.J. Tampa adds a cornerback while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at pick No. 104, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in slot 162 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 226, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
