Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

If Paul pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 27th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 3 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A big swing on Patrick Paul at pick No. 66, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They let Jaylen Wright come to them and pounced at slot 71. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A slide stopped in No. 90, with Blake Corum worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
