The Arizona Cardinals have been assigned a D-minus for their offseason efforts by NFL.com analyst Matt Okada. The grade reflects criticism of the team's decision to draft a running back despite coming off a 3-14 season, alongside the release of quarterback Kyler Murray without adequately addressing the position. The Cardinals' notable free agency addition was guard Seumalo, but concerns remain regarding the overall improvement of the team, particularly in pass rush and quarterback stability as they head into the season with a mix of journeymen and a rookie.
