Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Ersery. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Aireontae Ersery had no business being available in the 78th overall pick, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 47. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Somehow Aireontae Ersery was still sitting there in the 78th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They paid up for Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 152nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Hamilton well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
