Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mills reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Walker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 16th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 47, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 114th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A reasonable price with a little left over, Logan Brown in pick 153. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
