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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Cam Ward, the No. 50 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 72.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in Round 3, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
No drama and no debate, Tommi Hill went about where he belonged in the 136th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
