Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Fuaga has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 17th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in pick 36, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
