Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureD+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent pick No. 162 on Andrew Coker, a name the board had a full 118 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to the 36th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy little value on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 38th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 40 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
The board had cheaper options than Malachi Corley at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roman Wilson at pick No. 56. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in the 62nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They barely believed it either: Xavier Legette still on the board at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They liked Renardo Green enough to skip the value, taking him in the 69th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They paid up for Marshawn Kneeland at pick 72 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 10, where Ricky Pearsall graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 77 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick81
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
A quiet steal in No. 81: Devontez Walker for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 82 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 84 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at Round 3, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in the 86th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at No. 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick96
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
They reached into another round for Jacob Cowing, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
The board had Dominick Puni higher than slot 98, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Beaux Limmer this early at pick 101. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 103rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They robbed the room for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in pick No. 106; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Somehow Jonah Elliss was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 4, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in the 115th overall pick, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121

Pick126
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
They paid sticker price for Jamari Thrash in pick 126, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Gould a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Beau Brade
No edge and no loss on Beau Brade in the 128th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Circle this one: Leonard Taylor III at pick 130 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 131st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A conviction pick on Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 133 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134

Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 35 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves

Pick144
Rnd5

Pick145
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 145th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They reached a country mile for Delmar Glaze at slot 147, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in pick 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 152nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5

Pick154
Rnd5
Dallin Holker

Pick155
Rnd5

Kamal Hadden
They jumped the gun on Kamal Hadden, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
