Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Landing Murphy II that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 4th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
