Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: offensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 27 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Bo Nix
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Bo Nix. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
