Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B

Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
However the rest shakes out, Newton at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jer'Zhan Newton at pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
