Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. The Cardinals did not so much draft Decamerion Richardson as overpay for him, 96 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Landing McCaffrey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38
Rnd2

Pick39
Rnd2
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick 39 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at slot 40 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the 41st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick47
Rnd2

Rnd2
Cade Stover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cade Stover in the Round 2 slot, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59

Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 59 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick64
Rnd2

Pick65

Pick66
Rnd3

You do not let an offensive lineman like Jackson Powers-Johnson reach pick No. 66 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at No. 67 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A real head-scratcher, Mekhi Wingo in the 69th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 70th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71

Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at slot 76 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 77 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick78
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson

Pick79
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe

Pick80
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at the 80th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3

Pick82
Rnd3
Javon Baker
They did well to land Javon Baker in slot 82, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3

A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 20 with a little surplus value in Malik Washington. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Taking Tyler Guyton in pick 85 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.
Pick89
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A tidy little value on Bralen Trice in pick No. 89, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
