Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Cody Schrader, taking him 125 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Colson. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
