Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

NeedA

FutureB-
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a B weekend for the Cardinals. The Cardinals spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Penix Jr.. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 4th pick with a little surplus value in Marvin Harrison Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick27
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 27 they get a franchise quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
