Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Torrence: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ro Torrence, the 226th overall pick, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Kneeland to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 6 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 27th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in No. 66, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 71st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marshawn Kneeland at slot 90 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick162 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had Luke McCaffrey higher than the 162nd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Good price on Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 186, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 226 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
