Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Hall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 7 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in Round 2, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They went early on Kris Jenkins in the 38th pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in pick No. 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid up for Michael Hall Jr. at slot 71 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than pick No. 137 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the 161st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in the 224th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. It fills a real need, too.
