Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Shaun Dolac in pick 173, a good 128 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Getting Campbell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 30 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A wild overpay on Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 47th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Will Campbell
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Will Campbell in Round 3, Pick 14, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 81st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Nothing to complain about; Maxwell Hairston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 95 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Will Howard
A clean, defensible pick in No. 114 with a little surplus value in Will Howard. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach Round 4, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Steal is underselling it; Savion Williams at slot 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 131 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Circle this one: Tai Felton at slot 133 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Good price on Darius Alexander in the 137th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
A straight-up fair deal on Rylie Mills at pick 140, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 148 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 160th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They jumped the gun on Willie Lampkin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in No. 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 187, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
They took Kyle Williams at par in the 198th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
They liked Jacob Parrish enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 22. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Cam Jackson at the 206th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207
Rnd6
Connor Colby
They robbed the room for Connor Colby here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
A reach for Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 238; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at No. 239 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Somehow Carson Vinson was still sitting there in slot 251, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
