Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Jawhar Jordan in pick 157. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The veteran additions, Tyreek Hill chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 19th pick they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 20 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the 23rd pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 24th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ruke Orhorhoro this early at pick No. 28. The roster fit checks out.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In the 29th overall pick they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick 30 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A big swing on Ricky Pearsall at the 33rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in Round 2, Pick 2, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in slot 35, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 38th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at pick 39, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to slot 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Somehow Terrion Arnold was still sitting there in the 43rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 12, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 45 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at the 48th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Taking Xavier Legette in the 59th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 68 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Zach Frazier. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in No. 71. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in the 72nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at pick No. 75, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 76th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 14 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke McCaffrey well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A reach on MarShawn Lloyd in slot 80; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Guerendo. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in No. 86, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in No. 90 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 96, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They robbed the room for Sedrick Van Pran here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at slot 101 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at Round 4, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They talked themselves into Beau Brade at the 105th pick, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 106 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A wild overpay on Sione Vaki in slot 107, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 108th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in No. 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 115, where Christian Mahogany graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Calen Bullock in Round 4, Pick 17, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III slid further than he should have, and pick 121 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 122nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Theo Johnson at No. 129. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
The board had Javon Solomon higher than Round 4, Pick 30, and the OLB-EDGE fell to them anyway. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
They liked Brennan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 137th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in pick No. 138 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamari Thrash in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in slot 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at the 141st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at No. 142, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
They will replay Andru Phillips at No. 143 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the 145th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A quiet steal in slot 146: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at the 153rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Gore Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They let Dallin Holker come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 23. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Value with a capital V on Trevor Keegan in the 161st pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Circle this one: Mason McCormick at slot 164 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in the 177th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
No drama and no debate, Tanor Bortolini went about where he belonged in pick 180. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Jefferson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
The board had cheaper options than Justin Rogers at the 183rd pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 184, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 187 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Coker in pick No. 192 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They paid up for Caedan Wallace at Round 6, Pick 18 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach No. 197 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All at slot 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 212th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in pick 218 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A wild overpay on Jowon Briggs in the 222nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Good price on Jordan Magee in No. 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in pick No. 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at Round 7, Pick 7 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at pick 228 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to slot 231, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in No. 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at the 237th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in Round 7, Pick 19, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
The board fumbled Kendall Milton all the way to the 240th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Somehow Rasheen Ali was still sitting there in pick No. 242, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
They barely believed it either: JD Bertrand still on the board at the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
A slide stopped in the 253rd pick, with Tarheeb Still worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
