Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
