Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B.
On value alone, Murphy II makes the weekend a net positive. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick 27 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
