Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Jawhar Jordan went at No. 162, a good 113 picks before the board was ready.
On value alone, Rakestraw Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The veteran additions, Kaden Elliss chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
A reach on Ricky Pearsall in the 27th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 64 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.
Pick66
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the 66th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A conviction pick on Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 84 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 90 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 92 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
Good price on MarShawn Lloyd in the 99th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They will replay Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 101st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 109th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick112
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 112th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in pick No. 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Taking Matt Goncalves in slot 126 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.
Pick127
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They paid a round early for Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 27, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A clean, defensible pick in the 131st overall pick with a little surplus value in Jalyx Hunt. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jermaine Burton
Circle this one: Jermaine Burton at No. 140 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Somehow Cam Hart was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick142
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Steal is underselling it; Hunter Nourzad at the 142nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They talked themselves into Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 145 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tyler Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Davis in slot 147. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
A reach for McKinnley Jackson in slot 149; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at No. 150. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Delmar Glaze. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
They did well to land Trevin Wallace in pick No. 156, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 160th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick161
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 161st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick 162, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton slipping to the 164th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick 168 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at slot 169 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole is a better player than pick No. 170 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Johnson in Round 5, Pick 35, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 173; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They let Walter Rouse come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the 182nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
They went early on Grayson Murphy in the 183rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in No. 184 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in Round 6, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
You do not let an offensive lineman like Caedan Wallace reach pick 188 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick No. 190 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 192 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They reached into another round for Keilan Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at Round 6, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick196
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They took Javontae Jean-Baptiste at par in slot 198, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in the 199th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in pick No. 200 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamal Hadden in the 202nd overall pick, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
They reached into another round for Jacob Monk, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at pick 204 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at slot 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 207th pick 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.
Pick209
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Murphy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 6, Pick 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at the 214th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to Round 6, Pick 44, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
A big swing on Jowon Briggs at slot 220, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyrice Knight at pick 222 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Muasau in No. 225. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
No drama and no debate, Tylan Grable went about where he belonged in pick No. 226. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 240th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in pick 249 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin at the 253rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
