Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Shaun Dolac at the 132nd pick is 175 spots clear of where he belonged.
The Burden III steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at slot 38. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A premium they did not need to pay, JT Tuimoloau a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Ezeiruaku. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at pick 49. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 54 with a little surplus value in Aireontae Ersery. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 57th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 31: Trey Amos for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at pick No. 68, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 80 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in the 81st overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A reach on Cam Skattebo in pick 86; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 87, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Schwesinger in the 93rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
They will replay Elijah Arroyo at the 99th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in slot 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
They paid sticker price for Kyle McCord in No. 114, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick 118 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
By-the-book stuff, Jamaree Caldwell at Round 4, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
They reached into another round for Shaun Dolac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 133rd overall pick, where Billy Bowman Jr. graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137
Rnd4
Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198
Rnd6
Connor Colby
They barely believed it either: Connor Colby still on the board at pick 198. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
