Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 142 picks early on Andrew Coker, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
Shipley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at pick No. 42, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Braswell at the 55th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in slot 56, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They paid up for Jaylen Wright at the 62nd pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 64th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 10, with Christian Haynes worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Good price on Devontez Walker in No. 75, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in pick No. 76. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They reached a country mile for Mekhi Wingo at pick 77, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Somehow Jermaine Burton was still sitting there in slot 78, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in the 87th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Junior Colson
You do not let a linebacker like Junior Colson reach Round 3, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at pick 92, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93
Rnd3
Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the 94th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
Value said wait; Jacob Cowing in pick No. 96 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at pick No. 97, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick101
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 101st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at slot 104. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
The board fumbled Jaden Hicks all the way to No. 105, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They let Javon Baker come to them and pounced at pick 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beaux Limmer. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 8 is lovely value for the cornerback. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick111
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 111th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A market-rate OLB-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Solomon. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
A quiet steal in pick No. 114: Jalen McMillan for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at No. 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A big swing on Anthony Gould at slot 118, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A reach for Roger Rosengarten in the 119th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at Round 4, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 121st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in Round 4, Pick 22, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevor Keegan this early at pick 123. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III is a better player than slot 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at No. 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalyx Hunt well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A wild overpay on Brennan Jackson in pick No. 129, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 131st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 132. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
The board had Johnny Wilson higher than Round 4, Pick 34, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 135 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jamari Thrash in the 136th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at slot 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick141
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 141st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A wild overpay on Kamal Hadden in pick 142, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in pick No. 143, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 144th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 5, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Value said wait; Grayson Murphy in slot 146 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Rogers. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Will Shipley
They will replay Will Shipley at the 150th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at the 151st overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at Round 5, Pick 18. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Josh Newton
They robbed the room for Josh Newton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ro Torrence
A big swing on Ro Torrence at Round 5, Pick 24, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161
Rnd5
Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at slot 161, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Taking Ainias Smith in pick 164 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in the 174th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Thomas in the 176th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick 177 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick178
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Value said wait; Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Jha'Quan Jackson at pick No. 179 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Raym in No. 182 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the 187th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 13, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keilan Robinson in slot 189, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 190 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 195 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Harrell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 197th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
Circle this one: Jaheim Bell at No. 198 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in the 199th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 201 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 202nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Layden Robinson at the 203rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at Round 6, Pick 31 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Trente Jones in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A reach on Jaden Crumedy in No. 212; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at No. 213 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They read the board right and Myles Cole was the payoff at pick 214. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Marcellas Dial
They talked themselves into Marcellas Dial at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216
Rnd6
Erick All
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Erick All at slot 216. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd6
Myles Harden
Value with a capital V on Myles Harden in the 217th overall pick, a genuine coup. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick218
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 219th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in pick No. 226 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
They will replay Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Somehow Johnny Dixon was still sitting there in slot 232, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick233
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tylan Grable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 234 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
A big swing on Tyrice Knight at the 235th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke in No. 236 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to the 237th pick, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 239 with a little surplus value in Trevin Wallace. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
No drama and no debate, Keaton Bills went about where he belonged in slot 240. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
KT Leveston
Fair-plus on KT Leveston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at No. 246, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at Round 7, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They paid sticker price for Darius Muasau in the 252nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A premium they did not need to pay, C.J. Hanson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick255
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
They paid a round early for Matthew Jones in pick No. 255, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarrett Kingston. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at No. 257. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
