Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Kimani Vidal, 104 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brownlee Jr.. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In No. 10 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 21st pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick27
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 27th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 29 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 31 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 32nd pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
By-the-book stuff, Ladd McConkey at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
The board had cheaper options than Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They went early on Roman Wilson in slot 35, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They paid up for Kris Jenkins at pick No. 36 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 37th pick, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They talked themselves into Braden Fiske at Round 2, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick40
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 40th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malachi Corley well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They barely believed it either: Chop Robinson still on the board at the 42nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at slot 43. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They jumped the gun on Ricky Pearsall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 45th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick No. 46 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They will replay Nate Wiggins at No. 52 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A wild overpay on Cade Stover in Round 2, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at Round 2, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick59
Rnd2
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in slot 59, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
Value with a capital V on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 60, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Zak Zinter
A real head-scratcher, Zak Zinter in the 61st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They paid a round early for Austin Booker in No. 62, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A reach on Michael Hall Jr. in the 65th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick73
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 73 with a little surplus value in Patrick Paul. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They reached a country mile for Cole Bishop at pick No. 76, and the board is aghast. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 82nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Trevor Keegan
Value said wait; Trevor Keegan in the 83rd overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 88 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick91
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
The board fumbled Bralen Trice all the way to the 91st overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
A big swing on Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They reached into another round for Mohamed Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A wild overpay on Jalyx Hunt in No. 101, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in pick 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They liked Matt Goncalves enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 5. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They talked themselves into Roger Rosengarten at the 106th pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 107 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Circle this one: Jonah Elliss at pick 108 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 109th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in the 110th overall 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.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Good price on Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at pick No. 121, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in slot 123 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 124 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Fair-plus on Javon Foster, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sione Vaki well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in No. 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick133
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Nothing to complain about; Chau Smith-Wade went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 135 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at the 138th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at pick 139, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 142nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in pick No. 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 149 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jamari Thrash in No. 150, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Beau Brade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Beau Brade in the 151st pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick152
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
A slide stopped in the 152nd overall pick, with Anthony Gould worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick 154 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
A premium they did not need to pay, Javion Cohen a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 158th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Garret Greenfield
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garret Greenfield in pick No. 159, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at the 165th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 167 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in pick 169 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at Round 5, Pick 38 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in the 175th overall pick, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in No. 179 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the 180th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 6, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
You do not let a quarterback like Jordan Travis reach pick No. 194 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 197th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
They robbed the room for Khristian Boyd here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at slot 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in slot 203, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in pick 205 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
They reached a country mile for Andrew Coker at the 206th pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in the 208th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They talked themselves into Eric Watts at Round 6, Pick 34, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in pick No. 211 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
KT Leveston
A big swing on KT Leveston at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They reached into another round for Keilan Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick No. 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in No. 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Somehow Jordan Jefferson was still sitting there in the 219th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A reach for Michael Barrett in the 221st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at Round 7, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Keith Randolph Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 233 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jowon Briggs this early at pick 234. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in Round 7, Pick 15 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Trente Jones
Somehow Trente Jones was still sitting there in slot 237, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach the 239th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in No. 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Taking Sheridan Jones in pick No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
A straight-up fair deal on Marcellas Dial at the 245th pick, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick249
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
They jumped the gun on C.J. Hanson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
Josiah Ezirim at No. 251 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jennings at pick 252. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in slot 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
