Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Mike Sainristil, 48 picks early at the Round 1 slot.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
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 home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an island corner, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
