Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent pick No. 106 on Nathaniel Watson, a name the board had a full 101 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 2 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 9th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick10
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 10 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick11
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 11th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick12
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In No. 12 they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick13
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In the 13th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 14 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 22 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick 25 they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 27th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick28
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In No. 28 they get a bell-cow for the offense, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick29
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick 29 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In slot 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick33
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 2, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at No. 34 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in slot 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at the 36th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the 37th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 44 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 46th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at No. 47, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A tidy little value on Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Drake Maye
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 49 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Terrion Arnold in the 50th overall pick, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick52
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Circle this one: Nate Wiggins at pick 52 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 54th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
