Grading the Cardinals’ moves in the 2022 draft

We give a grade for the Cardinals’ trade for Marquise Brown and every draft pick they made over the weekend.

The Arizona Cardinals have their 2022 NFL draft class complete. They traded their first pick for receiver Marquise Brown, added a tight end, three linebackers, a running back and two offensive linemen.

It is really too early to grade the moves, but the Internet demands instant grades, which means we look at whether or not the player is talented, is a fit, fills a need and is a relative value based on where he is selected.

Below are my grades for each move, including the trade for Brown.
