Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Paul reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 2 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 34th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
