Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

Nobody else had Shemar Turner anywhere near slot 47. The Cardinals did, by 37 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 16th overall pick they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 78, where Carson Schwesinger graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chimere Dike at pick 115. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 14 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Nice patience on Alijah Huzzie, who had no business lasting to the 225th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
