Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jahvaree Ritzie pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 144 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They banked enough surplus on McCord to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Demetrius Knight Jr. a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in slot 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jahvaree Ritzie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jahvaree Ritzie in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
