Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 152nd pick lands the Cardinals a B-, Howard and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Howard tumbling to the Cardinals in pick No. 152 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Caldwell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick No. 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 78 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A reach on Jamaree Caldwell in the 115th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Will Howard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Will Howard in Round 5, Pick 14, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
