Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Jawhar Jordan, taking him 148 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The Hart value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
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 Round 1, Pick 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 6 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 7 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 10th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 22 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 25th pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 28th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick29
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at No. 29. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Zach Frazier
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 32nd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at pick No. 33, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 34th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
This one needs a full-page explanation: T'Vondre Sweat in No. 35, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J.J. McCarthy in pick 36. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
They went early on Mike Sainristil in the 38th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick40
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in slot 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 42nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Legette at pick No. 44, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at pick 45, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 48 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malik Washington
Value said wait; Malik Washington in No. 49 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
You do not let a wide receiver like Adonai Mitchell reach the 50th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They robbed the room for Amarius Mims here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 2, Pick 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 60th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tyler Nubin in slot 61, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick62
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Nice patience on Keon Coleman, who had no business lasting to pick 62. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Worthy at the 64th overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 65, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins is a better player than Round 3, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to the 67th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick68
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
A quiet steal in No. 68: Adisa Isaac for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at Round 3, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in slot 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 74 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A wild overpay on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 76, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick77
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 77th overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in pick No. 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They read the board right and Michael Hall Jr. was the payoff at the 80th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A big swing on Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 83, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 94th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Circle this one: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 99 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in the 100th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in No. 107 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Coleman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in Round 4, Pick 12 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 113th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at No. 115 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
The board had Theo Johnson higher than Round 4, Pick 20, and the tight end fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 122nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They reached a country mile for Cody Schrader at pick 124, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at slot 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 130th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 131 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 4, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
They let Hunter Nourzad come to them and pounced at pick 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
They reached into another round for Jaden Crumedy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
They liked Mason McCormick enough to skip the value, taking him in the 138th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 139th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in No. 140 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick141
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 141, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in slot 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
A slide stopped in the 146th pick, with Leonard Taylor III worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at pick No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 154 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Trey Taylor
Value said wait; Trey Taylor in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to the 156th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould slid further than he should have, and pick 162 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
Steal is underselling it; Caedan Wallace at Round 5, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
This one needs a full-page explanation: Delmar Glaze in No. 172, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Somehow Tanor Bortolini was still sitting there in slot 173, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
They barely believed it either: Trevor Keegan still on the board at the 174th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Fair-plus on Jordan Jefferson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in pick No. 179 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathan Thomas this early at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Tupuola-Fetui well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 182 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cam Hart
Taking Cam Hart in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 186, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Trey Knox
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Knox. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Good price on Khristian Boyd in Round 6, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
They paid sticker price for Grayson Murphy in the 193rd overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value said wait; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 194 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at the 195th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at the 196th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick208
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in pick No. 208, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at slot 210 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
They will replay Cedric Johnson at No. 211 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A wild overpay on Eric Watts in pick 212, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javion Cohen at pick 213. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the 214th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at slot 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in Round 6, Pick 42 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick218
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Layden Robinson
They read the board right and Layden Robinson was the payoff at pick No. 221. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
They took Garret Greenfield at par in No. 226, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Frank Crum
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Crum this early at the 228th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jack Westover
Jack Westover in pick 229 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the 231st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at slot 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in No. 235 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at Round 7, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
The board fumbled Jalen Coker all the way to pick No. 242, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
KT Leveston
Steal is underselling it; KT Leveston at the 247th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 249th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250
Rnd7
Bub Means
Bub Means in No. 250 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Evan Williams
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Evan Williams in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in pick No. 252 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
The board had Tarheeb Still higher than Round 7, Pick 33, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick254
Rnd7
Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey slid further than he should have, and slot 254 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
