Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Coleman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 35th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
