Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The war room fell hard for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and it showed at the 124th overall pick: 140 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Pritchett at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
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
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 5 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 6 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 12 they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 22nd pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in Round 1, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
In the 28th overall pick they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In pick 29 they get a seam-stretching tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 30th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in slot 31, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In pick No. 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 34th pick, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 35. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They went early on Malachi Corley in the 37th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in the 39th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 43 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick44
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at Round 2, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45
Rnd2
Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 45 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick46
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 46th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in slot 49; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Steal is underselling it; J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 51 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Somehow Kool-Aid McKinstry was still sitting there in No. 55, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 56th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in Round 2, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick59
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick 59 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick60
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A wild overpay on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 60, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in the 65th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 67th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Washington a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at the 69th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to Round 3, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They barely believed it either: Adisa Isaac still on the board at No. 75. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 78 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 81. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in the 84th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Jonah Elliss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 94th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They paid up for Mohamed Kamara at Round 3, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brennan Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 101, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They let Kris Abrams-Draine come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick103
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in slot 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A big swing on Elijah Jones at pick 104, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 105th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 106th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at No. 107 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
They did well to land Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 108, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jaden Crumedy
Value said wait; Jaden Crumedy in the 112th overall pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cedric Johnson
They talked themselves into Cedric Johnson at pick 115, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
The board had Brandon Coleman higher than slot 117, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Value said wait; Christian Jones in the 119th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tip Reiman
They reached a country mile for Tip Reiman at Round 4, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 130th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Grayson Murphy
A wild overpay on Grayson Murphy in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
A reach for Xavier Thomas in slot 132; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Cowing at pick 135 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
They jumped the gun on Anthony Gould, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at pick 138, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III slid further than he should have, and the 139th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Circle this one: Matt Goncalves at Round 5, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 141 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick142
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 142 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach the 146th overall pick and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick150
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
They read the board right and Caedan Wallace was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 152nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 155th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Nice patience on Jamari Thrash, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 23. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in No. 161. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick162
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mason McCormick at pick 162. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A quiet steal in slot 164: Tanor Bortolini for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Value with a capital V on Trevor Keegan in pick 166, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
A slide stopped in the 170th overall pick, with Dallin Holker worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jarrian Jones in No. 176, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick179
Rnd6
Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at slot 179 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick180
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
The board fumbled Isaiah Davis all the way to pick No. 180, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 181st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kimani Vidal this early at Round 6, Pick 7. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Gore Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at the 186th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They reached into another round for Keilan Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Beau Brade
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 14 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Somehow Jordan Magee was still sitting there in pick No. 192, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 193rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in pick 197, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in slot 204, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
You do not let a wide receiver like Tahj Washington reach the 209th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 211th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick No. 213 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick 215 is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at Round 7, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in No. 222 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225
Rnd7
Logan Lee
A conviction pick on Logan Lee at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker in pick 226 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.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Monk at No. 231 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston is a better player than the 234th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Anderson in slot 235, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
They robbed the room for Tyrice Knight here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jordan Travis
They will replay Jordan Travis at Round 7, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
A big swing on Andrew Raym at the 249th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in the 251st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick No. 252 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
A wild overpay on Jarrett Kingston in Round 7, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, X'Zauvea Gadlin well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
