Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had McLaughlin lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 2, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in pick No. 115, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A conviction pick on Seth McLaughlin at pick 152 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
No drama and no debate, Ja'Corey Brooks went about where he belonged in the 225th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
