Cardinals 2021 Draft Grade: TBD
I don’t pay any attention to draft grades, do you?
Grading NFL draft picks is like grading students on their 1st day of class. They haven t taken a single test. They haven t bonded with their teacher or classmates yet. But hey just slap a grade on them and possibly even stigmatize them from the start. So freakin irresponsible. Walter B J Mitchell (@WBJMItch) April 30, 2021
As a high school teacher for 40 years, one of the most exciting moments for me every year was being handed my class rosters on the first day of school. From AP English classes to College Prep classes to Creative Writing classes, every roster gave me the wonderful sense of hope, that if I could set the right tone and create a productive and enjoyable learning environment that at some point in the year, the students would galvanize as a team and be motivated to drive the curriculum all by themselves.
Round 1 2021 NFL Draft: Top Value Picks for Cardinals

The term “value pick” has become the NFL pundits’ trendy descriptor when evaluating the potential impact a draftee can have on the team that drafts him.
The shortest way I can think of to explain what a “value pick” is - it’s the player who checks off the most boxes in terms of what he is able to do for his side of the ball.
The more I started checking off boxes as they apply to each of the top prospects, it became increasingly clear to me that the player in the 2021 NFL Draft who could bring the most immediate and long-term value to the Arizona Cardinals is TCU defensive back, man-to-man and zone coverage star, Trevon Moehrig.

What the Arizona Cardinals do at 16 is up for debate, yet the rest of their draft is just as intriguing.
The Cardinals pick 49th, then don’t have anything to do until pick 160 in round five, barring a trade.
That’s a lot of waiting around.
That’s why when it was reported that Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach and run game coordinator Sean Kugler was at the Notre Dame Pro Day, it catches your eye.
The gem of the Notre Dame offensive line class is Liam Eichenberg, but he may not be a guy who fits at 16 and will likely be gone by 49.
