Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent No. 70 on Tip Reiman, a name most had 99 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Eichenberg. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Aaron Rodgers leading the way.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in pick No. 4 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick5
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 5th overall pick they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 6 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 7 they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick8
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 1, Pick 8 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.
Pick9
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 9 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick No. 10 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 14th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 19th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In slot 27 they get a lead back with juice, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A wild overpay on Trey Benson in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick36
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 36th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They took Roman Wilson at par in the 37th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
No drama and no debate, Ricky Pearsall went about where he belonged in No. 38. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in Round 2, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They talked themselves into Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 43, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A real head-scratcher, Marshawn Kneeland in pick 45 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in pick No. 47 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached into another round for Cade Stover, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They barely believed it either: J.J. McCarthy still on the board at No. 54. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Max Melton
They jumped the gun on Max Melton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 66th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at pick 68. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The board had cheaper options than Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 69th overall pick, and it noticed. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tip Reiman well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 72 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Adams in the Round 3 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 75th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to pick 76 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 80 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 82 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick85
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A big swing on Decamerion Richardson at the 85th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Michael Hall Jr. for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 90 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Thomas. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
They reached a country mile for Elijah Jones at No. 100, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick103
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo

Pick104
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

Pick112
Rnd4
Zak Zinter

Rnd4
Dallin Holker

Pick122
Rnd4

Pick175
Rnd5

Pick180
