Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The Ty Robinson selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 47 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in slot 47, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at Round 3, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at pick No. 115 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They jumped the gun on Ryan Fitzgerald, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
