Overall

FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Keilan Robinson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 194 spots ahead at No. 116.
The McMillan steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick51

Pick53
Rnd2

Pick57
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 57th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.

Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in No. 98 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
