Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Mills: B.

When a board-topper like Rylie Mills slides to Round 5, Pick 14, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 16th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech is a better player than the 78th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
