Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.
They will need Sawyer to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the 16th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They went early on Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 47, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
