Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Jawhar Jordan. He came off 136 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Lassiter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In slot 10 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 12th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick No. 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Quinyon Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 27th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In slot 29 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In No. 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In the 31st pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Roger Rosengarten
In pick 32 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They let Brian Thomas Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
The board had cheaper options than Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 3, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in pick No. 38, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at slot 39. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A wild overpay on Trey Benson in the 40th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jared Verse
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 42 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They liked Chris Braswell enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
