Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Hampton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, stolen at the 78th pick.

The cost of the Ewers reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In No. 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 2, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 78 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Fairchild at pick 115. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Good price on Mitchell Evans in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 225th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
