Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 47th overall pick on Tip Reiman a full 122 spots early. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Frazier at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marvin Harrison Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 3 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 5 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 6th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick7
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick 7 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 10th pick they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick11
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 13th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in pick 15 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 18 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jared Verse
Jared Verse at Round 1, Pick 19 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick20
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 20th pick they get a sticky cover corner.
Pick21
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 21st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick22
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In slot 22 they get a rangy last line of defense, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In pick No. 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 24 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 28th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 29th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In pick No. 30 they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in No. 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A wild overpay on Trey Benson in slot 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36
Rnd2
Max Melton
They reached a country mile for Max Melton at No. 36, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
