Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The board sent warnings the Cardinals ignored, and it shows: D+.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Tyreem Powell, 289 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Harmon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyreem Powell
In the 16th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 2, Pick 15 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at pick No. 78 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in slot 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in pick 191 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
