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.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in the 27th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
