Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. 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.
Fair-plus on Marvin Harrison Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in No. 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
