Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Decamerion Richardson at slot 74 is 100 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
Getting Holker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick3
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 17th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 20 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 21st overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In pick No. 22 they get a lockdown presence outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick23
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get an enforcer at safety, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cade Stover
In No. 24 they get a seam-stretching tight end, a steep price for the projection.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 1 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the 27th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
They paid up for Roman Wilson at slot 29 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick30
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In the 30th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A wild overpay on Marshawn Kneeland in pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 34th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A quiet steal in slot 35: Chop Robinson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 36th overall pick 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.
Pick37
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 37, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They jumped the gun on Xavier Worthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 40th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick 42 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A premium they did not need to pay, Ruke Orhorhoro a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
They talked themselves into Cole Bishop at slot 51, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
They barely believed it either: Cooper DeJean still on the board at the 52nd pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick53
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Circle this one: Nate Wiggins at pick No. 53 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick55
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They went early on Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 2, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60
Rnd2
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 60th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Austin Booker
By-the-book stuff, Austin Booker at pick 67 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They reached into another round for DeWayne Carter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A reach on Brandon Dorlus in the 70th overall pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
The board had cheaper options than Bralen Trice at No. 71, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They liked Malik Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 8. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Mustapha
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malik Mustapha in the 78th overall pick, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
No drama and no debate, Jonah Elliss went about where he belonged in pick 80. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at the 86th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A real head-scratcher, Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 87 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They robbed the room for Cooper Beebe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in slot 93, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at pick 97. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 99th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brennan Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in Round 4, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in pick No. 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They reached a country mile for Jordan Travis at the 105th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Value said wait; Jalyx Hunt in slot 107 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in No. 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They talked themselves into Tyler Davis at pick No. 113, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
The board fumbled Kris Abrams-Draine all the way to pick 114, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick115
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
A wild overpay on Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at the 116th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Myles Cole
A big swing on Myles Cole at Round 4, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
DJ James
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick122
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 122nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 23. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick130
