Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
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.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
