Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
On value alone, Murphy II makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 27th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
