Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

Nix is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a B. Start where it matters. The Cardinals took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In No. 2 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick 21 they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
