Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Hampton from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Omarion Hampton slides to pick 154, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach Round 3, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Clay Webb
Circle this one: Clay Webb at pick No. 119 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at No. 154. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
