Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Brevyn Spann-Ford went at No. 143, a good 121 picks before the board was ready.
Getting Brade where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Brian O'Neill leading the way.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 6 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 11th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 24th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 25th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
They reached into another round for Chris Braswell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In the 28th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Adisa Isaac
In pick No. 29 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They paid up for Ricky Pearsall at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 35th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold is a better player than the 36th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick37
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A tidy bit of business in pick 37, where J.J. McCarthy graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 38, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
No edge and no loss on Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 40 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Value said wait; Cade Stover in pick No. 43 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at slot 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick45
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Taking Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They barely believed it either: Graham Barton still on the board at pick No. 46. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in pick 47, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
The board had Braden Fiske higher than the 48th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at the 49th pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55
Rnd2
Austin Booker
A reach for Austin Booker in Round 2, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in No. 57, a step better than break-even. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A premium they did not need to pay, Renardo Green a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick63
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 63rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 66 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and pick 67 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Circle this one: Jordan Morgan at No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 70th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A wild overpay on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick72
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 75th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They will replay Troy Franklin at pick 76 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 77th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Value with a capital V on Trey Benson in pick No. 87, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 100 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A big swing on Johnny Wilson at pick 102, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brenden Rice this early at the 103rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They reached a country mile for Tyrone Tracy Jr. at No. 104, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Cowing in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at Round 4, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 107 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.
Pick108
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
This one needs a full-page explanation: Anthony Gould in the 108th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 109 with a little surplus value in Brandon Coleman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at the 112th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 117 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at pick No. 122 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
They jumped the gun on Elijah Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Somehow Zak Zinter was still sitting there in slot 133, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137
Rnd5
DeWayne Carter
Steal is underselling it; DeWayne Carter at pick 137 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hunter Nourzad reach No. 138 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Good price on Javon Foster in Round 5, Pick 3, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 140th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
They reached into another round for McKinnley Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
They did well to land Isaac Guerendo in the 142nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalyx Hunt at the Round 5 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
They talked themselves into Cedric Johnson at Round 5, Pick 10, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the 147th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A real head-scratcher, Braiden McGregor in slot 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in No. 152; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
They reached a country mile for Nelson Ceaser at pick 160, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at the 162nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 163rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at No. 166, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Crumedy well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 5. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 182 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value said wait; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 183 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick 186 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 192nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
No drama and no debate, Nathan Thomas went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 22. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212
Rnd6
Beau Brade
They robbed the room for Beau Brade here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at the 214th pick that the board grades a round light. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick220
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in pick No. 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221
Rnd7
Logan Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Lee in the 221st pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at No. 222 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board fumbled Edefuan Ulofoshio all the way to pick No. 225, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Nothing to complain about; Darius Muasau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231

Steele Chambers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 11. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They paid a round early for Michael Barrett in the 234th overall pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon in pick 235 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Value said wait; Jowon Briggs in pick No. 240 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk slipping to Round 7, Pick 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in No. 249 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matthew Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
They reached into another round for X'Zauvea Gadlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
