Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Miller pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A quiet steal in pick No. 39: Christen Miller for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
