Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Ransom: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Lathan Ransom slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 16th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A straight-up fair deal on Aireontae Ersery at pick 47, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 78th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Smael Mondon Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
