Draft Grade — Cardinals

Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In pick 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders slipping to the 49th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
