Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
