Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C-

NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB+
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Shaun Dolac; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 174 spots ahead at pick No. 141. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.
Ransom at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A reach for JT Tuimoloau in the 35th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in No. 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They jumped the gun on Deone Walker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 78th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to slot 79, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 88, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carson Schwesinger at the 96th overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 114 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mello Dotson well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick116
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at pick 116. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
A big swing on Raheim Sanders at slot 123, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 125th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Howard Cross III this early at No. 126. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
A wild overpay on Jackson Slater in the 127th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jalen Milroe in slot 128, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Value said wait; Nick Nash in pick 129 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 131 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tyler Cooper
They reached into another round for Tyler Cooper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
They reached a country mile for Fadil Diggs at the 138th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
They liked Jabbar Muhammad enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick140
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 140 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shaun Dolac. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 142nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
A slide stopped in the 143rd pick, with Kyren Lacy worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Logan Brown
They paid a round early for Logan Brown in pick 148, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153
Rnd5
David Walker
David Walker in pick No. 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach pick No. 155 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick160
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Pat Bryant in Round 5, Pick 21. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
A reach on Chase Lundt in the 162nd pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at slot 164 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Williams in the 165th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
