Draft Grade — Cardinals

Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 14 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at Round 2, Pick 13 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
