Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. Nobody had Jawhar Jordan this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 121 spots to get him at slot 157.
Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 6th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
They liked Quinyon Mitchell enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 8. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 19, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 23rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 24 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 26th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In pick No. 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In the 29th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in the Round 1 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricky Pearsall this early at No. 33. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ladd McConkey. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They jumped the gun on Roman Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A wild overpay on Christian Haynes in pick 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in pick No. 37, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 39 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J.J. McCarthy at the 40th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
They will replay Terrion Arnold at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Worthy a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 45 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at pick 48 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Amarius Mims in pick No. 58, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 59th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in No. 68. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They did well to land Zach Frazier in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 70th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
They reached into another round for Roger Rosengarten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They paid sticker price for Renardo Green in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in No. 76. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at slot 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
They talked themselves into Luke McCaffrey at the 79th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick 80 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick No. 86, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in the 88th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
A conviction pick on DeWayne Carter at the 90th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They went early on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 96 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Circle this one: Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 97 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
Somehow Max Melton was still sitting there in slot 100, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in pick 101; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cody Schrader well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They reached a country mile for Beau Brade at Round 4, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A big swing on Chau Smith-Wade at pick 106, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A real head-scratcher, Sione Vaki in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Value said wait; Brandon Coleman in the 108th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
They barely believed it either: Kamren Kinchens still on the board at No. 113. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at the 115th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
A safety of that caliber at slot 117 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A tidy bit of business in pick 121, where Leonard Taylor III graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 122nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon slid further than he should have, and slot 130 is lovely value for the OLB-EDGE. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 132nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick No. 137 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at No. 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 140th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Washington. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
They robbed the room for Andru Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones is a better player than the 146th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
The board fumbled Sataoa Laumea all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Davis at slot 152, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at Round 5, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 157th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 158, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They read the board right and Dallin Holker was the payoff at pick No. 159. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Value with a capital V on Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 25, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 166th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in the 180th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at pick 181, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Jefferson at slot 182, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A reach on Justin Rogers in slot 183; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value said wait; Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 184 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They reached a country mile for Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 187th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker in the 192nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They paid up for Caedan Wallace at pick No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Taking Malik Mustapha in pick 194 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.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
They took Erick All at par in slot 200, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
No drama and no debate, Cedric Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 218. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick 221 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 225th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in the 226th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Decamerion Richardson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 231 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.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in the 236th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Keilan Robinson in the 237th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at Round 7, Pick 19. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
Somehow Kendall Milton was still sitting there in slot 240, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in No. 242 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Taking JD Bertrand in pick No. 251 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
The board fumbled Trey Knox all the way to pick No. 252, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in pick 253 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
