Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 118 picks early on Keilan Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick 5 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick6
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 6th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 17th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 21 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 22nd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick24
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They paid a round early for Darius Robinson in slot 28, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick29
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 29th pick they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In slot 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
Value said wait; T'Vondre Sweat in pick 31 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick32
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached a country mile for Marshawn Kneeland at No. 32, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 34th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 2, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick37
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They talked themselves into Renardo Green at the 37th pick, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in Round 2, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They took Malachi Corley at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick46
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They robbed the room for J.J. McCarthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Fair-plus on Tyler Nubin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick48
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 51st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52
Rnd2
Max Melton
A conviction pick on Max Melton at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick58
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 58th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick59
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at No. 59 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Good price on Adisa Isaac in pick 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 63 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick64
Rnd2
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 64 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick65
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at slot 65 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in the Round 3 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the 68th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at Round 3, Pick 5. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They went early on Cade Stover in pick No. 71, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 3, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick74
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They barely believed it either: Junior Colson still on the board at slot 74. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Worthy in the 75th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
A big swing on DeWayne Carter at the 79th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Taking Kris Jenkins in No. 80 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 81 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 23, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 91st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Circle this one: Javon Baker at pick No. 101 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at pick 102. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
A slide stopped in the 103rd pick, with Jonah Elliss worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon in Round 4, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Brandon Coleman in pick No. 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the 107th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 109 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Brennan Jackson at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalyx Hunt a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in slot 122, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 123rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
A tidy little value on Hunter Nourzad in the 124th pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braiden McGregor well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in Round 4, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at slot 135, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 137, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marist Liufau this early at Round 5, Pick 2. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
The board fumbled Jalen McMillan all the way to the 140th pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Value with a capital V on Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 142, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Cowing at the 143rd overall pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at pick 146, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A straight-up fair deal on Mason McCormick at slot 154, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
A reach on Tip Reiman in the 156th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Beau Brade
No edge and no loss on Beau Brade in the 159th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in No. 161, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
Value said wait; Keilan Robinson in pick 162 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They will replay Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 166 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wild overpay on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 179, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Steal is underselling it; Tanor Bortolini at slot 180 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 182nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk in the 183rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Myles Cole
You do not let an edge rusher like Myles Cole reach No. 186 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Johnson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 192 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 196th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They talked themselves into Eric Watts at the 197th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jackson Sirmon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Sirmon. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick 200 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206
Rnd6
James Williams
Taking James Williams in Round 6, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
They will replay Kamal Hadden at pick No. 208 for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
They barely believed it either: Sione Vaki still on the board at slot 209. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick210
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Steal is underselling it; Curtis Jacobs at the 210th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick213
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They jumped the gun on Justin Rogers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214
Rnd6
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 214 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in Round 6, Pick 40 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They read the board right and Layden Robinson was the payoff at the 217th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Coker well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 220 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in the 222nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Grayson Murphy
You do not let an edge rusher like Grayson Murphy reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Value said wait; Jowon Briggs in No. 226 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Nothing to complain about; Julian Pearl went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235
Rnd7
Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at pick No. 235 is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Nice patience on Steele Chambers, who had no business lasting to slot 240. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 22 is lovely value for the safety. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still slipping to No. 246 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in pick 251, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
KT Leveston
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, KT Leveston in the 252nd pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at the 253rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
A wild overpay on Andrew Raym in the 254th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
