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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Vernon Broughton, 25 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rourke steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 47th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in the 114th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in slot 153 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
