dee DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 45 spots for Shemar Turner, and value like that does not grow back. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Getting McCord where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In No. 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A reach on Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shemar Turner in pick No. 78, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in slot 114, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 153rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
