Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Andrew Coker at the Round 6 slot is 100 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Torrence. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 6th pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jared Verse
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Verse. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In pick 21 they get a rangy last line of defense, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick22
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at the 25th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
They paid a round early for Ladd McConkey in the 26th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In slot 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 29th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In the 30th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricky Pearsall. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at pick No. 34 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slid further than he should have, and No. 35 is lovely value for the quarterback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Guyton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Paul in slot 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
They reached into another round for Cole Bishop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slipping to No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at the 56th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Taking Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in the 58th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick59
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 59. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Wright, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
A big swing on MarShawn Lloyd at the 61st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They liked Cade Stover enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in pick No. 63 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 64th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 65, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 2, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Keon Coleman in pick 67, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malik Washington well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at the 69th pick, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 70th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Laiatu Latu
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 71 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 78 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.
Pick79
Rnd3
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 79 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at No. 80, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Michael Hall Jr. at the 84th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Value with a capital V on Sedrick Van Pran in the 87th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick 88. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in slot 89, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick95
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They robbed the room for Ja'Tavion Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 96 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the 97th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 104, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 105 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in No. 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A wild overpay on Cody Schrader in the 109th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Dylan Laube
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 114 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Steal is underselling it; Javon Baker at pick 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 117, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Brennan Jackson in slot 123 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They talked themselves into Brandon Coleman at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in the 127th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Good price on Beau Brade in slot 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick140
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They paid up for Justin Eboigbe at the 140th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 5, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 142 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in pick 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 146 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
A conviction pick on Jared Wiley at slot 148 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152
Rnd5
Erick All
Erick All in Round 5, Pick 16 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at the 156th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
No edge and no loss on Sione Vaki in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick159
Rnd5
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick No. 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162
Rnd5
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 162, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
They went early on Braiden McGregor in the 164th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick 174 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse is a better player than slot 176 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Value said wait; Andrew Coker in No. 180 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick No. 181 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javion Cohen at the 182nd overall pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
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.
Pick184
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 186th pick 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.
Pick187
Rnd6
Eric Watts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Watts in pick No. 187, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A wild overpay on Cedric Johnson in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193
Rnd6
Myles Cole
No drama and no debate, Myles Cole went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 18. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
They will replay Nelson Ceaser at the 194th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 195th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
A tidy bit of business in pick 197, where Tahj Washington graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Value said wait; Jawhar Jordan in the 208th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at pick 210, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 218th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A straight-up fair deal on JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 45, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 221, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
They took Jaden Crumedy at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
They paid sticker price for Myles Murphy in slot 223, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in pick No. 226, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Garret Greenfield at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Nathan Thomas at pick No. 228 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jowon Briggs this early at slot 231. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 14, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick 236 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at No. 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
They reached into another round for X'Zauvea Gadlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Nice patience on Donovan Jennings, who had no business lasting to the 249th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at No. 251 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Somehow Jase McClellan was still sitting there in the 252nd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
You do not let a linebacker like Curtis Jacobs reach Round 7, Pick 33 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
They barely believed it either: Sheridan Jones still on the board at pick No. 254. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
