Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: 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.

Wiggins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Kneeland reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
The board had Nate Wiggins higher than slot 35, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 2 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at pick 74, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
