Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Johnson: B-. Somebody in the Round 3 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cardinals sat still while Kaleb Johnson, the No. 46 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Milum has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick47
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They paid a round early for Wyatt Milum in pick 47, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 78th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
