Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Knox at slot 122 regardless, 165 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Jordan Addison leading the way.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 5th pick they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 6 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Jared Verse
No drama and no debate, Jared Verse went about where he belonged in pick No. 7. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick18
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 19 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 22nd pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 23 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Byron Murphy II in pick 26. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In pick 30 they get a true top target, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at slot 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 34 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.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 35th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They paid up for Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slipping to the 37th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 38th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A big swing on Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 40, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Malik Washington
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malik Washington well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 44th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached a country mile for Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick50
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A wild overpay on Renardo Green in the 50th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 53 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
The board fumbled Chop Robinson all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in slot 55, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at pick 56, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick57
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Isaiah Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Adams in the 60th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Steal is underselling it; Graham Barton at pick 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than the 62nd overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
A real head-scratcher, Cole Bishop in pick No. 63 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They reached into another round for Jarvis Brownlee Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at slot 65 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick66
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They talked themselves into Decamerion Richardson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in No. 67 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
Value said wait; Tip Reiman in pick 68 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at pick No. 69, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 70 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Circle this one: Jordan Morgan at slot 73 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Somehow Junior Colson was still sitting there in the 74th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
They robbed the room for Tyler Nubin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in slot 78 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick83
Rnd3
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 83rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick85
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 85 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in No. 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick 101 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They read the board right and Dominick Puni was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 2. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 103rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Coleman at slot 105 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in pick No. 106, and that is fine. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 108th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in the 109th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A big swing on Anthony Gould at No. 110, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in the Round 4 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
Fair-plus on DeWayne Carter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They liked Jalyx Hunt enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in slot 117 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dallin Holker this early at No. 118. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 120th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in Round 4, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaden Crumedy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Crumedy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 126, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo

Rnd5
Kamren Kinchens

Pick149
Rnd5
Cam Hart
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cam Hart in the 149th overall pick, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach slot 150 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5

Pick158
Rnd5

Pick167
Rnd5
Layden Robinson

Rnd6
Leonard Taylor III

Pick179
Rnd6

Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in No. 180 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick187
Rnd6
Frank Crum
Frank Crum in Round 6, Pick 12 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.

Pick195
Rnd6
Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at No. 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196
Rnd6
Bucky Irving
Taking Bucky Irving in the 196th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Rnd6
Myles Cole

Pick209

Pick212
Rnd6

Pick213
Rnd6

Pick236
Rnd7

Pick238
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire

Pick251
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
