Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a C+. The Cardinals bet big and early on Keilan Robinson, 75 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Flournoy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Hit on Troy Fautanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 29th overall pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No edge and no loss on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ladd McConkey in the 46th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 58, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 60th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
A straight-up fair deal on Bralen Trice at pick 62, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 72 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cade Stover in slot 81. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Nothing to complain about; Renardo Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the 88th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A tidy little value on Gabriel Murphy in the 96th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They reached into another round for Mohamed Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 110th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in the Round 4 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 124 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 128 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 132nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 133 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick134
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Gould at Round 4, Pick 34, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
James Williams
Nice patience on James Williams, who had no business lasting to pick No. 138. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Value with a capital V on Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 13, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A reach for Braiden McGregor in No. 159; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brandon Coleman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at the 163rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Davis at the 164th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A big swing on Justin Rogers at pick 174, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A real head-scratcher, JD Bertrand in the 192nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 194th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Johnson a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in No. 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ryan Flournoy in pick 226, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at slot 234, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A quiet steal in pick 245: Edefuan Ulofoshio for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in slot 247 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick252
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
By-the-book stuff, Tyrice Knight at the 252nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
