Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Newton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
