Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Milum has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the 47th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger is a better player than pick 78 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in No. 115 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than slot 152, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in the 225th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
