Don't know - but I'm mellowing - Right now I'd give Rod & Co. the legendary "Incomplete", because we won't know til we see how Pace pans out.

I think someone should grade Mel Kiper. Like a couple of years after a draft, see how the guys he said that couldn't miss are doing and how the guys who are "reaches" are doing. Might be interesting.

ESPN said it was a C+ see below

Arizona Cardinals
Notable: In his first year presiding over the draft, vice president Rod Graves swapped the sixth overall choice in the first round for picks No. 17 and No. 18, an indication that the Cardinals still feel they need quantity, and that one premier player would not be able to turn things around.
Will start as rookie: Both first rounders, wide receiver Bryant Johnson and defensive end Calvin Pace.
Best value: Getting linebacker Gerald Hayes, a tackling machine, in the third round was a pleasant surprise. But an even better value selection was Tony Gilbert, another linebacker, in the seventh round. Gilbert isn't pretty and is a limited athlete, but he's all football player.
Boom or bust: Some will argue that the Cardinals grabbed Pace (18th overall) too high, but he was the third-rated defensive end on their board, and would not have been around for them in the second stanza. For a club that had just 65 sacks over the past three seasons, Arizona had to secure someone who could rush the passer.
