Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Zinter proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 35, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in the 66th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 71st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in slot 90; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
