Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Shemar Turner in No. 115.

The Campbell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A premium they did not need to pay, Grey Zabel a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in No. 76 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A wild overpay on Shemar Turner in pick 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Patrick Bryant
They paid a round early for Patrick Bryant in Round 4, Pick 33, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the 149th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
