Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Keilan Robinson, 137 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
Laumea falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 2 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick 5 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at slot 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
No drama and no debate, Dallas Turner went about where he belonged in the 10th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick11
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick12
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
They reached into another round for Braden Fiske, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick18
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 18th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In pick 20 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 21st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In slot 24 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 25 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 26th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In the 28th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner, and a steal at that.
Pick31
Rnd1
Max Melton
In No. 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick32
Rnd1
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at slot 32 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jared Verse
Jared Verse at pick No. 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
They barely believed it either: Jer'Zhan Newton still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick35
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at the 35th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A reach on Xavier Worthy in the 36th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
JC Latham
Somehow JC Latham was still sitting there in pick 37, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
You do not let an offensive lineman like Taliese Fuaga reach slot 38 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cade Stover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Stover. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They let Chop Robinson come to them and pounced at No. 40. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 43 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 48th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell 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.
Pick50
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in Round 2, Pick 18, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in the 64th pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 65 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 66, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at slot 67, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in No. 68, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at slot 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick 71 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Edgerrin Cooper in the 72nd overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 3, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Taking Christian Haynes in No. 79 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They will replay Adisa Isaac at pick 83 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
They reached a country mile for Elijah Jones at the 90th pick, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Adams this early at pick No. 96. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to slot 97, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at the 99th overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Steal is underselling it; Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in slot 107 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in pick 108 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 109th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick110
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman slipping to No. 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 120 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached a country mile for Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 122, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
