Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
The Murphy II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in No. 35 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
