Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Higgins: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the 155th overall pick.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Cornelius left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in pick 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 3, Pick 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
