Draft Grade — Cardinals

A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Denzel Burke in pick No. 21, a good 27 spots before the room expected him.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Denzel Burke
In pick No. 21 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
