Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 16th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Conerly Jr. at pick 47 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
