Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureC-
A weekend the Cardinals spent ahead of the board, for worse: F. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Tahj Washington. He came off 106 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Bertrand falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 8th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick49
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 58th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 109 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at the 137th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
The board fumbled Cole Bishop all the way to Round 5, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick159
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
They paid sticker price for Chau Smith-Wade in slot 159, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick162
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Schrader. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
No edge and no loss on Andrew Raym in No. 187; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They will replay Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 188 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at Round 6, Pick 21 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A reach for Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 202 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
They talked themselves into Donovan Jennings at the 222nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 244 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
They jumped the gun on Walter Rouse, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
They reached a country mile for Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
