Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The Harmon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to pick 47 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
