Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cardinals let Ward fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Cam Ward slide 218 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 47 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They did well to land Josaiah Stewart in Round 2, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in No. 98 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Ward
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
