Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis

James Pearce Jr.
In the 16th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
