Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Murphy II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
