Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
F
ValueC
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC
Conviction outran the board for the Cardinals, and it cost them: F. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Mario Williams at No. 160 regardless, 170 picks early. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
The Brooks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Harold Fannin Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In pick 27 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
The board fumbled Princely Umanmielen all the way to Round 2, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in No. 60, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 62nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mike Green
Circle this one: Mike Green at slot 67 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 71 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mello Dotson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mello Dotson this early at pick No. 73. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach the 80th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 84th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyle Kennard at the Round 3 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 99 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ricky White III
A real head-scratcher, Ricky White III in Round 4, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Will Howard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Howard in No. 148, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas in the 158th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Mario Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mario Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jalen Catalon
They read the board right and Jalen Catalon was the payoff at the 165th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179
Rnd6
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
A wild overpay on Quincy Riley in pick 192, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
PJ Williams
They talked themselves into PJ Williams at Round 6, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in No. 203 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at pick No. 216. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd7
Tyreak Sapp
They reached into another round for Tyreak Sapp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in pick 226 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Taking Bryce Foster in Round 7, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at the 246th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at pick No. 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Makari Paige
Makari Paige at No. 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Aidan Keanaaina
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aidan Keanaaina. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
