Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Howard Cross III at Round 4, Pick 13, a reach of 100 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Shough at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 47th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Chris Paul Jr. at slot 78 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
A wild overpay on Howard Cross III in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 153rd pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
