Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Keilan Robinson at Round 5, Pick 7, a reach of 167 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Justin Herbert 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
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 2 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 8th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick13
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 13 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 19 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
Value with a capital V on Byron Murphy II in the 25th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nate Wiggins in the 37th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at pick 39 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
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 for a spot that needed help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in the 48th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 49th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at pick 50, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 55 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
DeWayne Carter
They reached into another round for DeWayne Carter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They took Malachi Corley at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They paid sticker price for Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 28, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 29 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A reach for Cade Stover in the 62nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Wright a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Worthy at the 65th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They paid a round early for Renardo Green in pick 66, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick69
Rnd3
Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick71
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 72nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A wild overpay on MarShawn Lloyd in No. 76, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in pick 77 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at the 78th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in Round 3, Pick 16 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk is a better player than slot 82 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 83 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They barely believed it either: Patrick Paul still on the board at pick No. 87. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at the 92nd pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at the 93rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalyx Hunt. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
Value said wait; Brennan Jackson in pick 96 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Logan Lee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Lee well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at No. 100, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Nice patience on Dominick Puni, who had no business lasting to pick No. 101. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 102 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the 103rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 105th pick 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.
Pick106
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at pick 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in No. 109 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 111th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 112 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 116th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at Round 4, Pick 19 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
The board had Cole Bishop higher than the Round 4 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick123
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick124
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
Value said wait; Sione Vaki in Round 4, Pick 24 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick125
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They went early on Anthony Gould in the 125th pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Cowing in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in pick 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tahj Washington
A wild overpay on Tahj Washington in pick No. 129, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 131 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at No. 133, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson slid further than he should have, and the 134th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the 137th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at No. 138. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 141 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at slot 142, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
They reached a country mile for Keilan Robinson at Round 5, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 144th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Marcellas Dial
They talked themselves into Marcellas Dial at the 145th pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick150
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Elijah Jones in the 150th overall pick, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Erick All
A real head-scratcher, Erick All in pick No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 161 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175
Rnd5
Eric Watts
A wild overpay on Eric Watts in slot 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
They robbed the room for Marist Liufau here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
A slide stopped in pick 195, with Jha'Quan Jackson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at Round 6, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Taking Jase McClellan in the 217th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slipping to the 235th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
