Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Nazir Stackhouse at Round 4, Pick 13, roughly 85 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Restrepo makes the weekend a net positive.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 16th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in No. 47, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick 114 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in Round 5, Pick 14 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
