Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.
Every board in the league had Haynes lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the 27th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A real head-scratcher, Christian Haynes in pick No. 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
