Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 19 on Jawhar Jordan a full 120 spots early. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Ja'Marr Chase leading the way.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
They reached a country mile for Ladd McConkey at pick No. 4, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 5th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 12th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 13th overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick34
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They went early on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 34, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid a round early for Malachi Corley in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in pick No. 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A wild overpay on Trey Benson in the 39th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A tidy bit of business in slot 40, where J.J. McCarthy graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ruke Orhorhoro this early at pick No. 43. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 44th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 48th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in No. 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54
Rnd2
Renardo Green
The board had cheaper options than Renardo Green at pick 54, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Steal is underselling it; Nate Wiggins at Round 2, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They talked themselves into Cade Stover at pick 58, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 63 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 68th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
They will replay Kris Jenkins at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in the 72nd pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Value said wait; Decamerion Richardson in pick 75 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slipping to the 76th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in slot 78, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
You do not let a tight end like Ja'Tavion Sanders reach the 79th pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at Round 3, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cody Schrader
They reached into another round for Cody Schrader, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Taking Brandon Dorlus in Round 4, Pick 3 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The board fumbled Jeremiah Trotter Jr. all the way to No. 104, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in slot 105, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at pick 107. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick109
Rnd4
AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at the 109th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 114th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 122nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at slot 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 1, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick No. 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 139 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.
Pick140
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 140th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at the 143rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 144, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Javon Foster
A quiet steal in the 145th pick: Javon Foster for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
They let Isaac Guerendo come to them and pounced at pick No. 146. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They reached into another round for Sione Vaki, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick150
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A real head-scratcher, Grayson Murphy in No. 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith slid further than he should have, and pick 154 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the 155th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
The board had Jamari Thrash higher than the 156th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tahj Washington this early at pick No. 158. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They talked themselves into Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 159, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A straight-up fair deal on Walter Rouse at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 161 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They barely believed it either: Tyrone Tracy Jr. still on the board at Round 5, Pick 26. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick166
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at slot 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jordan Travis

Pick171
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They did well to land Marist Liufau in No. 171, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
JD Bertrand

Pick175
Rnd5
Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at the 175th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180
Rnd6
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They robbed the room for Tanor Bortolini here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Beau Brade
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Beau Brade in pick No. 182, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick183
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They reached a country mile for Kimani Vidal at pick 183, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
No drama and no debate, Fabien Lovett went about where he belonged in No. 186. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Value said wait; Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A big swing on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 193rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A wild overpay on Eric Watts in slot 196, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Murphy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
James Williams
James Williams in No. 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 203rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 204th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
A tidy little value on Javion Cohen in slot 206, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Nice patience on Nathan Thomas, who had no business lasting to pick 207. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
No edge and no loss on Layden Robinson in Round 6, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk at pick No. 209 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight

Pick219
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at the 219th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan McMahon in No. 222, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at the 225th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial in No. 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242
Rnd7
Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 251st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
A reach for Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Coker well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
