Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Murphy II has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In No. 27 they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
