Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Cardinals get a C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 248 spots for Ty French, and value like that does not grow back. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

That McCullough pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 14th overall pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
Value said wait; Aeneas Peebles in pick 40 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Value with a capital V on Jalen Milroe in pick No. 46, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ty French
Ty French in Round 3, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Carson Hinzman
Carson Hinzman at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd5 Dasan McCullough
They barely believed it either: Dasan McCullough still on the board at slot 136. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Moose Muhammad III well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd7 Justin Walley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Walley this early at the 200th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
