Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 2 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 21st overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
