Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 16 on Benjamin Morrison a full 31 spots early. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Harris pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Porter pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still on the board.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In pick No. 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside, a steep price for the projection.
Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A want over a need in pick 78: Darien Porter adds a cornerback while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Jermari Harris, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick151 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the 151st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
