Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

If Jenkins pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They jumped the gun on Kris Jenkins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
