Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Shaun Dolac; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 220 spots ahead at the 82nd overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Morrison. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick No. 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 24th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 27 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick28
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the 28th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at slot 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 38th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in pick 39: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Kennard. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 43rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Somehow Matthew Golden was still sitting there in pick No. 45, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Schwesinger this early at No. 47. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Good price on Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 50, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 52nd overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at slot 54 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 26 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
Value said wait; Cam Skattebo in Round 2, Pick 28 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at slot 61 that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in No. 65 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 69, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 72nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Bhayshul Tuten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bhayshul Tuten well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Tory Horton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tory Horton in pick 78, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82
Rnd3
Shaun Dolac
A wild overpay on Shaun Dolac in the 82nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100
Rnd3
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at Round 3, Pick 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 118 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 120, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick121
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 121st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They took Rylie Mills at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in slot 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in slot 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
They talked themselves into Kyle Williams at No. 139, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
The board had cheaper options than RJ Harvey at pick 150, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
