Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Jimmy Horn Jr. a full 95 spots early.

The Milroe pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 29 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board had cheaper options than Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 29, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 81st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Savion Williams at pick No. 114. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 153 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
They reached into another round for Zeek Biggers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
