Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Newton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 27th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
