Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
However the rest shakes out, Newton at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
By-the-book stuff, Malik Nabers at No. 4 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
