Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+

NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Keilan Robinson, 98 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
On value alone, Pratt makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, DeVonta Smith leading the way.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
