Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Mills proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Landing Rourke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 47th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Value with a capital V on Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rylie Mills this early at slot 115. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A tidy bit of business in the 152nd pick, where Kurtis Rourke graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They paid sticker price for Bilhal Kone in pick 225, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
