Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueD-

FutureB-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a C+. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Cardinals spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
The Corum reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
They talked themselves into J.J. McCarthy at pick 4, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27
Rnd1
Blake Corum
In pick No. 27 they get a lead back with juice, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
