Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Howard from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Will Howard, the No. 101 name on the board, sitting there at No. 152 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Mbow has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Marcus Mbow
In slot 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 47 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 78th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jamaree Caldwell at pick 115, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Will Howard
Circle this one: Will Howard at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They let Alijah Huzzie come to them and pounced at the 225th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
