Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 45 spots for Shemar Turner, and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at No. 47 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar Turner this early at the 78th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 5, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
