Draft Grade — Cardinals

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B. There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Shemar Stewart
In the 16th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
