Overall C+

ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The jury is out on the Cardinals. For now, C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Shemar Turner, 37 picks ahead of schedule. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea

In pick 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick47 Rnd2 Shemar Turner

They reached into another round for Shemar Turner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.

Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman

They paid a round early for Danny Stutsman in No. 78, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.

Pick115 Rnd4 Tez Johnson

Tez Johnson is a better player than Round 4, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick152 Rnd5 Ben Sauls

Ben Sauls at pick No. 152 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
