Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most.

They will need Harris to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Harris at No. 138, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in pick 186 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
They paid up for Keaton Bills at pick No. 226 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
