Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Ransaw should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Ransaw to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in the 47th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick 81, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 115th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They read the board right and Mello Dotson was the payoff at slot 152. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at No. 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
