Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent pick 114 on Brady Cook, a name most had 130 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 16 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Armand Membou
This one needs a full-page explanation: Armand Membou in the Round 2 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in slot 78 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick No. 114 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
No edge and no loss on Howard Cross III in Round 5, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
