Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. 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. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at slot 16 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nothing to complain about; Nic Scourton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
