jonkler DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Weigman. Final grade: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Conner Weigman had no business being available in pick No. 150, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They will need Monheim to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 10 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
They paid up for Deontae Lawson at the 41st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
TJ Ferguson
TJ Ferguson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Value said wait; Jonah Monheim in Round 4, Pick 7 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Conner Weigman
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Conner Weigman in No. 150, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
PJ Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, PJ Williams a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
