The 2021 draft may be a very unpredictable draft. Gunnar Hoglund (RHP; great control, solid FB, SL, CU) because of TJ surgery may fall into the Cardinals range (18th overall). Jordan Wicks (LHP), Sam Bachman (RHP), Andrew Painter (RHP) each would be a nice first round selection for the Cardinals IF AVAILABLE.
As for a position player, Benny Montgomery (OF) with his athleticism, his physical projectability and tools (run, field, arm, and power) would be a welcome addition at 18th overall.
54th overall: Andrew Abbott (LHP) undersized with 13.5K/9, 2.8BB/9
70th overall: Doug Nikhazy (LHP) if available; if Nikhazy is unavailable, Pierce Coppola (LHP, prep with lots of physical projectability [6′ 8″; 230 lbs.])
90th overall: Eric Hammond (RHP, prep with lots of physical projectability [6′ 4″; 175 lbs.]
