Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Cardinals robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: C-. You build a draft on nights like this. Jarrian Jones had no business being available in pick No. 168, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Kamara pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Green pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
So much rides on Jer'Zhan Newton that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 6 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at pick No. 35, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in slot 47 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 66th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Renardo Green adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the 91st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Nice patience on Ray Davis, who had no business lasting to the 107th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 162 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at No. 168 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cornelius Johnson
They let Cornelius Johnson come to them and pounced at the 175th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 6, with Braiden McGregor worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in slot 192 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in pick 219. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Bub Means
No edge and no loss on Bub Means in the 226th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
KT Leveston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and KT Leveston at No. 235 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
