Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cardinals.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Ty French in pick 72. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The McCullough value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Jonah Savaiinaea that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 14th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at Round 2, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Nice patience on Jalen Milroe, who had no business lasting to the 46th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ty French
A big swing on Ty French at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Carson Hinzman
Carson Hinzman at pick No. 104 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd5 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in slot 136 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 168 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd7 Justin Walley
They talked themselves into Justin Walley at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
