Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a B-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Latu.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 8th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
