Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 61 picks early on Vernon Broughton, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, King makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 16th pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at No. 47 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
They reached into another round for Vernon Broughton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Will Howard
They read the board right and Will Howard was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at slot 153 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
