Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
