Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureD
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. The war room fell hard for Cody Schrader, and it showed at the 95th overall pick: 117 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The Wiggins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Taliese Fuaga graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick30
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 30th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick 33, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 41st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 56 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in the 62nd overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Nate Wiggins
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent No. 66 on Nate Wiggins, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cade Stover
The board had cheaper options than Cade Stover at pick 68, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They took Renardo Green at par in slot 71, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Taking Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They liked MarShawn Lloyd enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 81. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They paid up for Maason Smith at the 90th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in Round 3, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 92nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Javon Bullard while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 94, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in No. 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
They jumped the gun on Jalen McMillan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick112
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at pick No. 112 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mekhi Wingo at slot 114 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 116th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at No. 120 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in pick 123, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in pick 124; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128
Rnd4
Delmar Glaze
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Delmar Glaze well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A curious use of slot 129. Quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Cam Hart did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in No. 134 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 138th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A big swing on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 148th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A slide stopped in the 162nd pick, with Tykee Smith worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick No. 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Decamerion Richardson
No drama and no debate, Decamerion Richardson went about where he belonged in No. 176. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Braiden McGregor for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
They went early on Grayson Murphy in slot 180, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A wild overpay on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 6, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kimani Vidal. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Somehow Jordan Jefferson was still sitting there in pick 193, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Watts this early at pick No. 195. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at slot 220 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in No. 249 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin at the 251st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
They talked themselves into Andrew Coker at Round 7, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Value said wait; Jarrett Kingston in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
