Draft Grade — Cardinals

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Cardinals get a C+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Kalen King at the 21st overall pick is 23 spots clear of where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
So much rides on Dallas Turner that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick2

Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Kalen King
In the 21st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid.
