Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureC-
The Washington reach set a tone the Cardinals could not shake: F. The Tahj Washington selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 110 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It bottoms out at a F.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Amegadjie.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 52, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kalen King
Nice patience on Kalen King, who had no business lasting to pick 57. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They went early on Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They paid a round early for Cade Stover in the 85th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kiran Amegadjie reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the 91st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A real head-scratcher, MarShawn Lloyd in slot 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 120 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A conviction pick on Cole Bishop at pick No. 121 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
They talked themselves into Chau Smith-Wade at pick 126, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick128
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A big swing on Delmar Glaze at Round 5, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A quiet steal in pick No. 148: Jordan Travis for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 196th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A tidy bit of business in No. 203, where Josh Proctor graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
They jumped the gun on J.J. Weaver, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
The board had cheaper options than Jaden Crumedy at slot 222, and it noticed. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
No drama and no debate, Jeremy Flax went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 15. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 243rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Carter Bradley
Value said wait; Carter Bradley in pick 252 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
