Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned 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.
Getting Murphy II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 27 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
