Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall F
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

Nobody else had Jalen Milroe anywhere near No. 16. The Cardinals did, by 79 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Everything downstream of Jalen Milroe depends on Jalen Milroe, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Landing Walker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In No. 16 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They paid up for Xavier Restrepo at the 50th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and pick No. 78 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nice patience on Maxwell Hairston, who had no business lasting to slot 82. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
They talked themselves into Jah Joyner at pick 114, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They let Logan Brown come to them and pounced at the 153rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
