The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
