Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Burke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cost of the Mbow reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 16 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Mbow at pick No. 47, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Value with a capital V on Denzel Burke in the 78th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
