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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

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.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 16th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in pick No. 47. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in No. 78; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
