Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
The Cardinals bet the future on Nix. The board says B. Start where it matters. The Cardinals took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In slot 21 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
