Max_Soffin DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Landing Newton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in Round 3, Pick 7, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 90th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
