Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Lawson. Final grade: C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Deontae Lawson, the No. 84 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot.

Reaching for Ersery left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Aireontae Ersery and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In No. 17 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at Round 2, Pick 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A big swing on Carson Beck at pick 81, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at slot 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
