Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 4 slot on Cody Schrader a full 105 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, C.J. Stroud leading the way.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis

Laiatu Latu
In No. 17 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
