Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-

No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
On value alone, Nix makes the weekend a net positive. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 21st overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at slot 34 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
