Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

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. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They are betting Rakestraw Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In No. 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all. More want than need.
