Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 217 spots for Shaun Dolac, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

However the rest shakes out, McMillan at that price is a win they earned. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Good price on Kenneth Grant in the 25th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick26 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in pick 26. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
They paid sticker price for Jack Sawyer in the 28th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick29 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In slot 29 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A tidy little value on Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick61 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at the 61st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They barely believed it either: Luther Burden III still on the board at pick No. 62. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick 63 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in slot 64, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tetairoa McMillan
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tetairoa McMillan in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 67 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 81st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 23, with Darien Porter worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick 95 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick No. 102 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 111th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
No edge and no loss on Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 4, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo is a better player than the 119th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at slot 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Value said wait; Ty Robinson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Lane at No. 132 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
A reach on Aeneas Peebles in Round 4, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 134. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in No. 136 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They paid up for Luke Kandra at the 139th pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Baron in the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
