Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Mills pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They went early on Danny Stutsman in slot 78, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rylie Mills this early at pick 115. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 152nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
