Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B for the Cardinals. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Cardinals spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick4

Michael Penix Jr.
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
