Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 154th overall pick lands the Cardinals a B-, Delane and all.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most.

The Delane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They are betting Lawson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Good price on Derrick Harmon in slot 49, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A reach on Deontae Lawson in No. 80; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Shemar Stewart
No drama and no debate, Shemar Stewart went about where he belonged in the 119th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mansoor Delane
They barely believed it either: Mansoor Delane still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
