Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedC
TradesA+
FutureB
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Brevyn Spann-Ford, 135 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
They banked enough surplus on Pritchett to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to the 55th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Steal is underselling it; Ladd McConkey at slot 56 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Fair-plus on Mike Sainristil, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick59
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 59th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ricky Pearsall at No. 60 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 32. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 69th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A conviction pick on Patrick Paul at pick No. 75 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 77 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.
Pick80
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at the 80th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick82
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at Round 3, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A tidy bit of business in slot 85, where Trey Benson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 86th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 87 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Hall Jr. at pick 89. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
They robbed the room for Kris Jenkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A clean, defensible pick in the 93rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Sedrick Van Pran. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 33, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke McCaffrey this early at slot 98. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
A wild overpay on Isaiah Adams in pick No. 100, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 4, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 104th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at No. 105 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
They jumped the gun on Hunter Nourzad, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 108th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick 110 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Circle this one: Brandon Dorlus at No. 113 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Somehow Dominick Puni was still sitting there in pick 117, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They talked themselves into Anthony Gould at Round 4, Pick 21, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tahj Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tahj Washington in pick No. 122, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in the 123rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DeWayne Carter in the 124th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Brennan Jackson at the 125th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the 128th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick129
Rnd4
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 129 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at slot 130, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at pick No. 131, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in pick 132 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKinnley Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They will replay Matt Goncalves at pick 134 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Trevin Wallace
A reach for Trevin Wallace in Round 4, Pick 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the 138th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the 139th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at No. 140, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at slot 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
Nice patience on Leonard Taylor III, who had no business lasting to pick No. 142. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at Round 5, Pick 7 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Taking Jalyx Hunt in pick 146 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jarrian Jones in the 152nd overall pick, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick154
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick No. 154 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 155th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Tyrone Tracy Jr. reach slot 156 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in pick 157 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They reached a country mile for Sione Vaki at No. 158, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 5, Pick 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161
Rnd5
James Williams
A reach on James Williams in the 161st overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Value said wait; Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 162 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They took Jordan Jefferson at par in the 166th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson
A wild overpay on Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Erick All
They barely believed it either: Erick All still on the board at No. 169. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 171st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
They let Dallin Holker come to them and pounced at slot 176. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
They robbed the room for Malik Mustapha here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyrice Knight this early at pick No. 178. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 181st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
They paid sticker price for Nelson Ceaser in the 182nd overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at No. 183 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Walter Rouse for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Somehow Sataoa Laumea was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
A tidy little value on Fabien Lovett in pick 188, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick 194 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in No. 195, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 197th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A big swing on Eric Watts at Round 6, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell

Pick203
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 203 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick206
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at the 206th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208
Rnd6
AJ Barner
The board fumbled AJ Barner all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
You do not let a linebacker like Marist Liufau reach Round 6, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 211th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick213
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
The board had Rasheen Ali higher than the 213th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Value with a capital V on Javion Cohen in slot 215, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 216 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford

Pick223
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225

Pick226
Rnd7

Andrew Coker in pick No. 226 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keith Randolph Jr.
They read the board right and Keith Randolph Jr. was the payoff at pick 227. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Logan Lee
They liked Logan Lee enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
Value said wait; Myles Murphy in the 230th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at pick No. 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
A real head-scratcher, Keaton Bills in the 233rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234
Rnd7
Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at No. 234, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in the 235th overall pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor is a better player than slot 238 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick242
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in pick 242, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in Round 7, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245
Rnd7
Emani Bailey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emani Bailey in the 245th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
A big swing on Trajan Jeffcoat at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Taking Isaiah Williams in No. 247 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at Round 7, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick No. 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 250th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 251 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Evan Williams
The board fumbled Evan Williams all the way to slot 252, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jaden Shirden
A slide stopped in the 253rd pick, with Jaden Shirden worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 255, where Tarheeb Still graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Sirmon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They did well to land Michael Barrett in No. 257, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
