Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
McCord should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle McCord, the No. 125 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The cost of the Alexander reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 16 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They paid up for Darius Alexander at slot 114 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to pick 153, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
