Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureA-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B+ to prove it. The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Logan Lee, taking him 26 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Latu pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick32
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 32nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at the 64th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in slot 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in pick 71, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in slot 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 138, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan slipping to Round 5, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in pick 162, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
They paid sticker price for Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 186th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at the 226th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
