Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Nobody else had Keilan Robinson anywhere near slot 138. The Cardinals did, by 142 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 4th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in No. 8 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick9
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick10
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 12 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick13
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick14
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 14 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In pick No. 23 they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 26th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in No. 27, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In slot 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Keon Coleman at No. 29, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick30
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 30 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.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 1 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick32
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Laiatu Latu
Circle this one: Laiatu Latu at pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Value with a capital V on Byron Murphy II in the 34th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the 35th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Terrion Arnold at the 37th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick40
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in No. 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A real head-scratcher, Cade Stover in the 41st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 2, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in slot 43. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Legette a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in pick 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marshawn Kneeland. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 53rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mohamed Kamara this early at the 54th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 56, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at No. 58 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in slot 59, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 60 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62
Rnd2
Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 63rd pick, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Value said wait; Cole Bishop in Round 2, Pick 32 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 65th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick66
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They reached into another round for Decamerion Richardson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick67
Rnd3
AJ Barner
This one needs a full-page explanation: AJ Barner in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in slot 68. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 69, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at the 70th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 71 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They barely believed it either: Troy Franklin still on the board at the 72nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Somehow Ja'Tavion Sanders was still sitting there in pick No. 74, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
They will replay Jonathon Brooks at the 75th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They read the board right and Ja'Lynn Polk was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They jumped the gun on MarShawn Lloyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
A big swing on Luke McCaffrey at No. 80, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They talked themselves into DeWayne Carter at pick 82, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
