Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 66 picks early on Donovan Jackson, and the board is going to hold them to it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Hit on Donovan Jackson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in slot 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
