Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Cardinals steal McMillan and grade out a B-.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tetairoa McMillan fell into the 47th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Milum has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Wyatt Milum. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Circle this one: Tetairoa McMillan at pick No. 47 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Barrett Carter. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in slot 115 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in Round 5, Pick 14 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
