Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Shaun Dolac pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 226 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The Sampson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 23 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In the 24th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the 25th pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick No. 26 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 1. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick34
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
No edge and no loss on Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the 38th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 42nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 45, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
Fair-plus on T.J. Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ozzy Trapilo in No. 49, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in pick 51. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54
Rnd2
Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in Round 2, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56
Rnd2
Will Howard
Will Howard at the 56th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
They reached a country mile for Carson Schwesinger at slot 57, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tez Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Tez Johnson in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
The board had cheaper options than Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 63 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 65th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Shaun Dolac
A wild overpay on Shaun Dolac in Round 3, Pick 2, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A quiet steal in No. 70: Isaiah Bond for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
A big swing on Jordan Burch at the 78th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in pick 88, and they pounced on premier safety value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick92
Rnd3
Logan Brown
They talked themselves into Logan Brown at the 92nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at pick No. 95 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 9 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick 112 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at No. 114 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Carson Vinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Vinson this early at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 123 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at slot 124 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
You do not let a wide receiver like Jaylin Noel reach Round 4, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at pick No. 141 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Value said wait; Jacob Parrish in No. 143 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick146
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
A real head-scratcher, Tosh Baker in the 146th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the 149th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at slot 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
Phillip Webb
They reached a country mile for Phillip Webb at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick No. 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at Round 5, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at pick 174, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 189th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in No. 249 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
