Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Decamerion Richardson, 98 picks ahead of schedule.
On value alone, Magee makes the weekend a net positive. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marvin Harrison Jr. at the 2nd pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In slot 13 they get an island corner, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 19 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 1 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick21
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 21 they get a load in the middle, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 22nd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 23 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick24
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 24th pick they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In No. 26 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In slot 31 they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A quiet steal in pick No. 35: J.J. McCarthy for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in No. 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 38th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
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.
Pick46
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 46 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Somehow Terrion Arnold was still sitting there in pick No. 51, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick52
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick53
Rnd2
Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at the 53rd overall pick, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick57
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 57th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 59 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 66th overall pick 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.
Pick67
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A reach on Marshawn Kneeland in the 67th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in slot 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in No. 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
They reached a country mile for Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 73, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in pick 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick76
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in the 76th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They robbed the room for Adisa Isaac here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at No. 82 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in Round 3, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84
Rnd3
Hunter Nourzad
They reached into another round for Hunter Nourzad, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in slot 86 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 89th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
The board fumbled Blake Fisher all the way to pick No. 90, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Thomas. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They paid up for Gabriel Murphy at slot 100 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss is a better player than Round 4, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 104th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Value said wait; Leonard Taylor III in the 105th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at pick 106, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cade Stover
You do not let a tight end like Cade Stover reach No. 107 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They will replay Cole Bishop at the 110th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 4, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick116
Rnd4
Kingsley Suamataia
Taking Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at No. 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at slot 118 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick No. 119, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at the 122nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in the 123rd pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 4, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
No drama and no debate, Jalyx Hunt went about where he belonged in pick No. 127. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at pick 131, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at No. 132, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for McKinnley Jackson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 137th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A big swing on Nelson Ceaser at the 140th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Nice patience on Jacob Cowing, who had no business lasting to pick 143. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wild overpay on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 146, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
They read the board right and Ainias Smith was the payoff at the 148th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
The board had Isaac Guerendo higher than slot 151, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in No. 152 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 18, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Josh Newton
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 19. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick159
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 159 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
They reached into another round for Cedric Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in slot 164 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.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Crumedy well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Grayson Murphy this early at pick 176. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 180 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.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in pick No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
They barely believed it either: Tykee Smith still on the board at No. 183. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick186
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Value said wait; Myles Murphy in the 188th overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
A linebacker of that caliber at the 189th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in slot 191 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JD Bertrand. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at slot 197 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick200
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach the 201st pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 205th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas slipping to pick 211 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
James Williams
Somehow James Williams was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
A conviction pick on Darius Muasau at No. 214 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd6
Trey Knox
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Knox well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
They jumped the gun on Jacob Monk, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Schrader in slot 222. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick 225 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 7, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at pick No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 231st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234
Rnd7
KT Leveston
Value with a capital V on KT Leveston in the 234th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 238th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick 247, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A wild overpay on Keilan Robinson in pick No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Frank Crum
No edge and no loss on Frank Crum in Round 7, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
A big swing on X'Zauvea Gadlin at No. 253, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
