Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureC+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Tyler Batty, 160 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
On value alone, Barton makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick 30 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 32nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 49 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 14. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 81st pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at No. 107 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
No drama and no debate, Jeffrey Bassa went about where he belonged in pick 113. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in slot 117, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Somehow Jack Bech was still sitting there in the 120th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Value said wait; Joshua Farmer in the 125th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
The board had Billy Bowman Jr. higher than the Round 4 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick128
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Schwesinger at Round 4, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 130th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Tonka Hemingway
A wild overpay on Tonka Hemingway in the 131st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at pick No. 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick136
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick 136 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonah Monheim this early at slot 137. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 145 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 146 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 148 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Batty well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151
Rnd5
Kevin Jennings
A big swing on Kevin Jennings at the 151st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152
Rnd5
Connor Colby
They reached a country mile for Connor Colby at Round 5, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in slot 158 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
They paid sticker price for Ty Robinson in slot 160, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 162nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick No. 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at No. 166 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in the 168th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
They reached into another round for Anthony Belton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 172nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 173 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
They reached a country mile for Jacob Parrish at pick 174, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at Round 6, Pick 4. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Xzavier Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xzavier Henderson this early at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at No. 185 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick187
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 187th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 6, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
A reach on Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190
Rnd6
CJ West
The board had cheaper options than CJ West at the 190th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191
Rnd6
Trevor Etienne
They paid up for Trevor Etienne at pick No. 191 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
You do not let a cornerback like Dorian Strong reach No. 194 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in slot 196 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Marcus Yarns
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marcus Yarns in pick 198, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
A reach for DJ Campbell in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
A conviction pick on Jared Wilson at Round 6, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201
Rnd6
PJ Williams
PJ Williams at No. 201 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tyreak Sapp
A wild overpay on Tyreak Sapp in the 202nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at pick No. 203, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Roc Taylor
A real head-scratcher, Roc Taylor in the 210th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in slot 214 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at pick 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at pick 218 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in Round 7, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They jumped the gun on Donovan Edwards, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229
Rnd7
Deion Burks
They talked themselves into Deion Burks at slot 229, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 232 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Dominic Lovett
They talked themselves into Dominic Lovett at No. 235, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in slot 237 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Mays. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
They robbed the room for Jake Briningstool here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
