FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cardinals, and a C+ to match. Nobody had Cedric Gray this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 48 spots to get him at slot 71. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Murphy II that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 8th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
They read the board right and Byron Murphy II was the payoff at No. 27. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 35th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in slot 71, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
