Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Milroe fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalen Milroe had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 13, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Stutsman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They did well to land T.J. Sanders in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reach on Danny Stutsman in the 78th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Taking Jalen Milroe in pick No. 115 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in No. 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
