Draft Grade — Cardinals

West should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. CJ West had no business being available in the 225th pick, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Turner left real value on the table behind him.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at the 16th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 47 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They paid a round early for Shemar Turner in pick No. 78, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Somehow Savion Williams was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 13, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at the 152nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ West
They barely believed it either: CJ West still on the board at slot 225. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
