Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B. For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Getting Newton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th overall pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 23 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
