nope DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 78 on Jamaree Caldwell a full 54 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in slot 47. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 78 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach Round 4, Pick 13 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
A clean, defensible pick in pick 152 with a little surplus value in Andres Borregales. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
