Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
F
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC-
The Cardinals overdrafted Crum and paid the price. Grade: F. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Frank Crum at the 257th overall pick regardless, 63 picks early. There is no dressing it up: a F.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. It is not that Melton is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 10th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
JC Latham
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 35 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 43 with a little surplus value in Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 64th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
A quiet steal in the 66th pick: Ricky Pearsall for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at pick 71 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Bullard at pick No. 72. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Max Melton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Melton adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and No. 90 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Steal is underselling it; Brandon Dorlus at slot 105 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Renardo Green
A curious use of the 116th overall pick. Quarterback needed the pick; a safety in Renardo Green did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Somehow Dominick Puni was still sitting there in No. 125, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 132 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at Round 5, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in pick 160, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 161st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 170th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in No. 171 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They talked themselves into Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 175, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
They barely believed it either: Tykee Smith still on the board at the 178th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick181
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 181st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at Round 6, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
They robbed the room for Sione Vaki here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They reached into another round for Logan Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker in pick No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Taking Tahj Washington in pick No. 224 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at No. 225 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at the 240th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
They let Jaden Crumedy come to them and pounced at slot 241. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Decamerion Richardson in pick 254, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at the 257th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
