Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Jordan fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jawhar Jordan slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at pick 225. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with tight end and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Every board in the league had Carter lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 21st overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in slot 71. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at pick 85, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves tight end and linebacker untouched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in slot 140 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They let Sam Hartman come to them and pounced at pick 188. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 225th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at pick No. 227 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
