Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Every board in the league had Caldwell lower, and that gap is the story. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 16 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They jumped the gun on Demetrius Knight Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the 78th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They paid up for Jamaree Caldwell at the 115th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
By-the-book stuff, Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at Round 7, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
