Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Tahj Washington selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 135 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Cardinals indulged a want in Rakestraw Jr. while a need in running back stayed open.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Pratt pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 27th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick28 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. adds a cornerback and leaves running back untouched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at pick 66. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 3, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 91st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 104. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
You do not let a quarterback like Michael Pratt reach the 133rd pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 140 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in No. 144 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 203 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They paid a round early for Nathaniel Watson in the 225th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They reached a country mile for Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wiley at No. 228 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They paid up for Walter Rouse at pick 246 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 249, where Trevor Keegan graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
