Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals 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.

The Murphy II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
