Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA+
The phones sank the Cardinals this weekend: C. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 38 picks early on Devin Neal, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Cowing pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
If Marvin Harrison Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 19th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the 43rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
No drama and no debate, TreVeyon Henderson went about where he belonged in pick 80. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Fair-plus on Jordan Travis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 133 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
T.J. Sanders
They liked T.J. Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the 135th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 145, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ainias Smith at the 165th overall pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
Storm Duck
A straight-up fair deal on Storm Duck at Round 6, Pick 38, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223
Rnd7
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at slot 223 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224
Rnd7
Michael Trigg
They went early on Michael Trigg in No. 224, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
