Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The McLaughlin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 16th pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Johnson in No. 47, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Fair-plus on Tate Ratledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 115 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermari Harris. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
