Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.

On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 27th pick they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Tyler Guyton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
