Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB+

FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most.
However the rest shakes out, Newton at that price is a win they earned. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
No drama and no debate, Malik Nabers went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 26th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
