Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
A-

FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Donell Harris Jr., taking him 72 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Benson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick No. 26 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 3 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trey Benson
Somehow Trey Benson was still sitting there in pick 103, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 104 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in the 144th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Donell Harris Jr.
They talked themselves into Donell Harris Jr. at the 188th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225
Rnd7
Desmond Evans
A wild overpay on Desmond Evans in Round 7, Pick 5, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd in No. 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
A quiet steal in pick No. 228: Steele Chambers for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
