Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals. For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.
Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 47th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Paul Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
