Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Starks. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, stolen at No. 47. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Milum left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 16th pick they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in No. 47, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in slot 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 14: Kurtis Rourke for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A tidy little value on Ricky White III in pick No. 225, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
