Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 153: the Cardinals steal Collins and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Alfred Collins got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 14. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in the 78th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach pick No. 114 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at slot 118 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
