Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B.

Call it larceny. Donovan Jackson sat on the board until pick 114, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mason Graham in the 16th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at slot 81, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in pick 114 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
