Arizona Cardinals Given Appropriate Offseason Grade by ESPN

Arizona Cardinals have had a very efficient offseason that's leveled up their talent base by a wide margin. Adding free agents like Jonah Williams, Bilal Nichols, Justin Jones, Zay Jones, and Sean Murphy-Bunting, the Cardinals are positioned much better to contend than they were going into the 2023 season. Couple that with their draft calss over the last two drafts including Paris Johnson Jr, BJ Ojulari, Michael Wilson, Garrett Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr, Max Melton, and Trey Benson, the Cardinals are on the precipice of sustained relevance more potently than they've been in some time. ESPN ranked each NFL team's offseason and the Cardinals got an appropriate grade: C+. Why was it appropriate? Let's discuss.

Thank you for being completely reasonable about this!! The guys at PHNX are losing their minds acting like we are suddenly the KC chiefs. Our culture is a million times better and I’m very excited to see Kyler, but other than that we didn’t do much but draft a bunch of guys with potential and we have no idea how they will actually play.

[@backtoconstitution1]

TRUTH. First 7-9 games will be a good sample size to see

[@thedicekids2036]

idk man i feel like they got at least a b just based on the draft and mhj and 7 picks in the first three rounds its hard to do that

[@robertmoore3088]

So if the curve is grades of A-D and Cardinals got a C+, that means just below average. Based on that, I disagree. Seth didn’t acknowledge the draft much at all adding talent and depth in positions of need. FA added much needed help in weaknesses in positions that needed it. With all these moves how does that qualify as below average?

[@brianpigati2177]

I disagree. They had a massive haul on one of the deepest drafts. Doesn't seem like that was taken into account at all

[@zonamc5924]

Hollywood needed to go... he was NEVER worth the first pick we gave up... Isaiah was bust that had a couple moments ..

[@hammerdon1962]

every position group is improved. And we have money to spend. A.

[@bryanabdallah6246]

Sorry there is no way in hell a C plus is the correct grade when the article says D is the worst grade you can get. Clancy, this is one of your worst takes in a while.

[@liammckewan501]

What specifically abt his take makes you disagree? Prove you watched the video in full

[@LockedOnCardinals]

Did you watch? Or just read the title?

[@Owen-xw8cs]

Terrible take

[@zonamc5924]

Weak take Alex.. it's your M.O. lately

[@LockedOnCardinals]

lol huh? Show your work

[@brucelhancock]

I hear the words and I think B+ so I think Clancy is conflating the overall state of the Cards vs the draft related improvement.
