Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Nobody else had Christen Miller anywhere near the 34th overall pick. The Cardinals did, by 25 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Christen Miller
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christen Miller in No. 34, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
