Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jawhar Jordan, 121 picks early at pick 157.
They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
A conviction pick on Taliese Fuaga at the Round 1 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 8 they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 19th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 20 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 24 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 28th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in the 29th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 31 they get a green-dot type in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 32 they get a true top target, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Value said wait; Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 1 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ladd McConkey. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 36th 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.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the 43rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
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
They reached a country mile for Patrick Paul at pick 45, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
No edge and no loss on Adisa Isaac in pick 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
You do not let an offensive lineman like Amarius Mims reach the 58th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
The board fumbled Xavier Legette all the way to slot 59, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at the 61st pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at pick No. 68 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 72nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They took Renardo Green at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 12, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
The board had cheaper options than Malik Washington at pick 78, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
They talked themselves into Luke McCaffrey at the 79th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A reach on MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 80; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at No. 81, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 88th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They jumped the gun on DeWayne Carter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at slot 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 96 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Taking Sedrick Van Pran in pick 97 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at the 99th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 100 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid a round early for Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 105th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A wild overpay on Chau Smith-Wade in No. 106, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A real head-scratcher, Sione Vaki in slot 107 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at Round 4, Pick 9. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 111th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in pick No. 113, and they pounced on premier safety value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to the 115th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
They robbed the room for Calen Bullock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in slot 120 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 121 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 4, Pick 22 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Good price on Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Theo Johnson in No. 129. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A quiet steal in slot 130: Javon Solomon for less than the market said. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in No. 132, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at pick 138. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They read the board right and Jamari Thrash was the payoff at the 139th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at Round 5, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached a country mile for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 141st overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Value said wait; Tahj Washington in pick No. 142 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick No. 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Value with a capital V on Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 10, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 149 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.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 152nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 153 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in the 157th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker slid further than he should have, and the 159th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan is a better player than the 161st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 28, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at pick 166, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at pick No. 177 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in No. 180, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at slot 181, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They paid up for Justin Rogers at pick No. 183 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 184th pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at No. 192 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They liked Caedan Wallace enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 193. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 197 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in pick No. 200 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
No edge and no loss on Garret Greenfield in the 212th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
They took Cedric Johnson at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 7, Pick 1 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A wild overpay on Jowon Briggs in No. 222, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathan Thomas. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in slot 227 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Jha'Quan Jackson still on the board at pick No. 231. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in slot 236 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
They will replay Kendall Milton at No. 240 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Somehow Rasheen Ali was still sitting there in the 242nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 251st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Trey Knox in the 252nd overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tarheeb Still at Round 7, Pick 33. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
