Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a B weekend for the Cardinals. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Cardinals' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Penix Jr.. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 27 they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
