Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureD
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Kyle Hergel in No. 251.
Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 13th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick14
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 14 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at No. 50 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Nice patience on Adisa Isaac, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 30. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Good price on Payton Wilson in the 63rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
They let Ricky Pearsall come to them and pounced at the 76th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
Somehow Tyler Nubin was still sitting there in pick No. 77, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 79 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 20, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
A conviction pick on Andru Phillips at slot 87 that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in pick No. 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mekhi Wingo well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 91st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They liked Cedric Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 98. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to Round 3, Pick 37, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
Steal is underselling it; Patrick Paul at the 101st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in pick 102, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Value said wait; Jamari Thrash in pick No. 104 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in the 107th overall pick, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caelen Carson at pick 108 is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick109
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beaux Limmer. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They reached a country mile for Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 10, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
No edge and no loss on Elijah Jones in slot 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick112
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 112th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at No. 114 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They barely believed it either: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson still on the board at the 118th overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Cowing this early at slot 119. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 123 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the 124th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
They talked themselves into Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 4, Pick 25, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 126th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach pick No. 128 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick129
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in No. 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They read the board right and Tyler Davis was the payoff at slot 131. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
They robbed the room for Cole Bishop here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick139
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 139th overall pick, where Theo Johnson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in pick No. 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at Round 5, Pick 8. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Delmar Glaze well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Davis a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould slipping to No. 150 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at No. 153, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in slot 154 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 157 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at Round 5, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 162nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in Round 5, Pick 28, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They talked themselves into Justin Rogers at pick 165, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in No. 167, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at slot 168, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 169th overall pick 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.
Pick171
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They reached into another round for Logan Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at pick No. 172 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.
Pick173
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 173rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 5, Pick 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in pick 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in pick No. 176, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd6
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in slot 178 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 181st pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Value said wait; Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A big swing on Jaylen Harrell at No. 184, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185
Rnd6

Rnd6
Myles Murphy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Murphy in Round 6, Pick 12, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Andrew Raym

Pick192
Rnd6
Keaton Bills

Pick193
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick 193 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Tahj Washington

Pick195
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 195th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
They will replay Ro Torrence at Round 6, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick200
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
By-the-book stuff, Steele Chambers at pick 200 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201
Rnd6

Pick205
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Value said wait; Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 205 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206
Rnd6

A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Marist Liufau in slot 206, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams

Pick209
Rnd6

Pick211
Rnd6

Pick220
Rnd6

Pick226
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial

X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin at No. 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Kyle Hergel
They reached into another round for Kyle Hergel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252

Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in pick 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick253

Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. A need, and now a little less of one.
