Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

NeedA-

FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They banked enough surplus on Murphy II to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
