Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 35th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
