Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. There is reaching, and then there is Keilan Robinson at the Round 5 slot. The Cardinals jumped the board by 149 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 2 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick3
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 3rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 4 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
They took Quinyon Mitchell at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick19
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 23 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 24th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Zach Frazier
In slot 30 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick32
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 32nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at pick No. 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A reach on Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at Round 2, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in No. 36, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to Round 2, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 40th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick41
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 42 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at the 43rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malik Washington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malik Washington. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at No. 55, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A wild overpay on Mike Sainristil in the 57th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A safety of that caliber at slot 58 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick59
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in pick 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Circle this one: Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 65 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 2. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at pick 67 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They jumped the gun on Michael Hall Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in No. 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabriel Murphy a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at pick 79, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 83rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in the 89th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker slid further than he should have, and slot 90 is lovely value for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Anthony Gould
They reached a country mile for Anthony Gould at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 3, Pick 29 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 93rd pick 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.
Pick101
Rnd4
Beau Brade
A real head-scratcher, Beau Brade in No. 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They will replay Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 104th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jonah Elliss worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
A clean, defensible pick in pick 107 with a little surplus value in DeWayne Carter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in slot 108. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick No. 110 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to pick No. 113. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Solomon at the 115th pick, value and slot in agreement. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in the 116th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 26, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
They did well to land McKinnley Jackson in slot 128, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in No. 131 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 132nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marist Liufau this early at pick No. 133. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at Round 4, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 137 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Value said wait; Hunter Nourzad in the 138th pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in slot 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at No. 142, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze

Pick146
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in slot 146 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
The board had cheaper options than Walter Rouse at the 148th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at No. 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at Round 5, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in the 156th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick 159 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jaden Shirden

Pick162
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They went early on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 165th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in slot 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
A conviction pick on Tahj Washington at pick No. 174 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 175th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177
Rnd6
Brennan Jackson
The board fumbled Brennan Jackson all the way to Round 6, Pick 2, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at No. 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They paid a round early for Justin Rogers in pick No. 181, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick 182 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
Somehow Xavier Thomas was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185
Rnd6
Myles Cole
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Cole a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the 187th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They jumped the gun on Curtis Jacobs, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A big swing on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 192, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in pick No. 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
They reached a country mile for Cedric Johnson at the 197th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick 200 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Jefferson at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Murphy well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Crumedy this early at the 207th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They paid a round early for Trey Knox in pick No. 213, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 216 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in slot 218, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at No. 219. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick221
Rnd7
Myles Harden
A quiet steal in the 221st overall pick: Myles Harden for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Fair-plus on Sheridan Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
The board had Javontae Jean-Baptiste higher than the Round 7 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 7, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Taking Cornelius Johnson in slot 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
You do not let an offensive lineman like Julian Pearl reach the 236th pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239
Rnd7
Evan Williams
You do not let a safety like Evan Williams reach the 239th overall pick and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 240 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at No. 245 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcellas Dial in slot 246. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick248
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A tidy little value on Josh Proctor in pick No. 248, a step better than break-even. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 251 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
They talked themselves into Anim Dankwah at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston at Round 7, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
