Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

On value alone, Nabers makes the weekend a net positive. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers slipping to slot 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 23 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
