Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. Nobody had Tip Reiman this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 104 spots to get him at the Round 3 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
However the rest shakes out, McCarthy at that price is a win they earned. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The veteran additions, Derrick Brown chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick3
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 3rd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A premium they did not need to pay, Dallas Turner a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick11
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 11 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 14 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In slot 16 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 21st overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 22nd pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In No. 29 they get a matchup problem out wide, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the 30th pick they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 31 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Edgerrin Cooper
In pick 32 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 33rd 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.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Drake Maye
Somehow Drake Maye was still sitting there in slot 36, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
They will replay Taliese Fuaga at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Taking Terrion Arnold in the 38th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 39. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They talked themselves into Renardo Green at Round 2, Pick 8, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43
Rnd2
Max Melton
They reached a country mile for Max Melton at No. 43, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick44
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 44th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 45, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They liked Adisa Isaac enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 48. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 49 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 54th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Junior Colson at the 56th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Fair-plus on Xavier Legette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 61 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tip Reiman in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in slot 66, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 67th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in pick 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at Round 3, Pick 6. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot 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.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in No. 72 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 74th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick75
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 81 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at the 83rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 85 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at the 86th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton slid further than he should have, and No. 87 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Bishop in the 101st overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They took Brandon Coleman at par in pick No. 103, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
No drama and no debate, Gabriel Murphy went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 4. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at No. 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Value said wait; Brennan Jackson in slot 106 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in the 107th pick, and that is fine. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at the 110th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick115
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at Round 4, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Christian Jones well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Brenden Rice

Pick118
Rnd4
Cody Schrader

Pick120
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at No. 120, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
A tidy little value on Hunter Nourzad in the 122nd pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
By-the-book stuff, Jalyx Hunt at No. 123 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Andru Phillips at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 132nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in pick No. 134, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5

Pick138
Rnd5

Pick139
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
A wild overpay on Tahj Washington in Round 5, Pick 3, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
The board fumbled Khyree Jackson all the way to Round 5, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 141st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 142 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.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at No. 143 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick146
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 146 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 148th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at pick No. 152. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159

Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Rnd5

Pick166
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Circle this one: Javon Foster at Round 6, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Keegan reach slot 180 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182
Rnd6
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick197
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Good price on Justin Eboigbe in pick 197, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 199 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They paid a round early for Kimani Vidal in the 200th pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Harrell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd6
Kalen King
Kalen King in No. 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221

Pick222
Rnd7

Pick223
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at slot 223 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Barrett in the 224th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Eric Watts
A reach on Eric Watts in the 225th pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in Round 7, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in pick 228 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
They paid sticker price for Jacob Monk in pick No. 229, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Justin Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in Round 7, Pick 14 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
They went early on Jackson Sirmon in the 235th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at slot 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
They barely believed it either: Jaylan Ford still on the board at No. 242. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trey Knox
They talked themselves into Trey Knox at pick 249, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Omar Speights
Omar Speights in pick 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253
Rnd7
Frank Crum
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Crum. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
They paid up for Keaton Bills at slot 255 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Raym in Round 7, Pick 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
