Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
However the rest shakes out, Noel at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In No. 16 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 47 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
