Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 107 picks early on Jordan Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Hart falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 6th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 8 they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In slot 9 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
JC Latham
By-the-book stuff, JC Latham at the 12th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick13
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick No. 13 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick14
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick15
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at Round 1, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick17
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 18th pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick19
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In slot 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 22nd overall pick they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 23 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early.
Pick24
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In slot 24 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 27th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick34
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They talked themselves into Trey Benson at the 34th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Paul well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 37th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A wild overpay on Marshawn Kneeland in No. 38, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at slot 40, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in pick 43, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 44th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Hall Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They robbed the room for Brian Thomas Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in the 48th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than pick 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 65th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Graham Barton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 66 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
They will replay J.J. McCarthy at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Nate Wiggins
Somehow Nate Wiggins was still sitting there in No. 68, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 69, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 3, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
The board fumbled Kris Jenkins all the way to the 71st overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Travis in pick No. 74 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Circle this one: Adisa Isaac at slot 77 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They reached into another round for Gabriel Murphy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
Value said wait; DeWayne Carter in No. 79 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 81st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in pick 90 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick No. 96 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 3, Pick 34 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at the 100th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Gray well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Lynn Polk at slot 103 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in No. 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A wild overpay on Luke McCaffrey in the 106th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They barely believed it either: Dominick Puni still on the board at pick 107. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 108 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109
Rnd4
AJ Barner
They talked themselves into AJ Barner at slot 109, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They liked Jalyx Hunt enough to skip the value, taking him in the 116th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brandon Coleman in No. 117. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Mahogany reach slot 119 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick No. 121 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick122
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in the 122nd pick: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Taking Johnny Wilson in the 138th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
Value said wait; Jaden Crumedy in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 140 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 5, Pick 5 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
This one needs a full-page explanation: Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 142, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Myles Cole
A reach on Myles Cole in the 143rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for McKinnley Jackson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nelson Ceaser this early at pick No. 150. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 5, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the 152nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ray Davis
Ray Davis in pick 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They read the board right and Jamari Thrash was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at No. 162 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached a country mile for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 166, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
A big swing on Cedric Johnson at slot 168, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams in the 175th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Taking Tykee Smith in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 6, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick181
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A wild overpay on JD Bertrand in pick No. 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
They took Sione Vaki at par in No. 182, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Circle this one: Javon Foster at Round 6, Pick 8 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They reached a country mile for Michael Barrett at slot 186, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
No edge and no loss on Khristian Boyd in the 187th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in the 190th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
A straight-up fair deal on Delmar Glaze at pick No. 191, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 6 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick 197 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
They robbed the room for Isaiah Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Somehow Chau Smith-Wade was still sitting there in the 220th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trey Knox
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Knox. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
Fair-plus on Jaylen Harrell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231
Rnd7
Logan Lee
The board had cheaper options than Logan Lee at Round 7, Pick 11, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
A reach for Myles Murphy in pick 234; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at slot 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in pick No. 240, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
They went early on Jackson Sirmon in the 242nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in the 252nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Value said wait; Andrew Coker in pick 253 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
