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.

That Newton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Benson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They did well to land Malachi Corley in pick No. 66, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Benson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
