Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
By-the-book stuff, Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 27th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
