Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent pick No. 225 on Tommy Mellott, a name the board had a full 160 spots lower.

Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 16 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in No. 47, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 78th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Charles Grant in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott at pick 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
