Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Shaun Dolac, 103 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They banked enough surplus on Arroyo to cover a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 20 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 78th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
They let Jermari Harris come to them and pounced at pick No. 113. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 117th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They took Nick Nash at par in Round 5, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at No. 189 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
A reach on Kyle Williams in slot 195; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
