Overall

FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Nobody else had Keilan Robinson anywhere near slot 138. The Cardinals did, by 142 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Rnd7
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers is a better player than the 242nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at pick 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josiah Ezirim this early at pick No. 253. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kingsley Eguakun
They talked themselves into Kingsley Eguakun at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin at slot 257 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
