Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Cody Schrader at slot 97 is 116 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Brock Purdy leading the way.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 1 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick4
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In slot 4 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 16th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 19 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Roger Rosengarten
In slot 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick 23 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early.
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 26th pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 27th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 1 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 30 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 31 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
