Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Some picks age like wine; Shaun Dolac at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 214 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Vita Vea leading the way.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jayden Higgins
In pick No. 19 they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In slot 20 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In No. 21 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48
Rnd2
Mike Green
You do not let an edge rusher like Mike Green reach No. 48 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Booker in pick 49. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to the 50th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 52 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Nic Scourton in the 61st overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
The board had Bradyn Swinson higher than pick No. 65, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Fair-plus on Tre Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in the 68th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at No. 99, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 100, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 101st pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A reach on Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 38; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at pick 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick No. 109 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Jordan Phillips. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Ty Robinson in pick 113 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 118th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick124
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Value with a capital V on Anthony Belton in slot 124, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
