Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The cost of the Jenkins 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.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 4th overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
