Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Spencer Rattler as overpay for him, 55 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Legette falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 27 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
They talked themselves into Spencer Rattler at slot 35, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They barely believed it either: Xavier Legette still on the board at No. 66. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 71st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 90th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at slot 105. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in MarShawn Lloyd. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They paid a round early for Josh Proctor in No. 188, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at pick 224, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
