Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. 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
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in slot 27, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
