Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Shemar Turner in slot 78, a good 45 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Milroe value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In No. 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They paid a round early for Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 47th pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 115 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in pick 152 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
