Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked 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. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Murphy II value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
