Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 16th pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 2, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
