Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 89th pick lands the Cardinals a B, Worthy and all.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Xavier Worthy, the No. 45 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 89 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Harris Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Good price on Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Round 1 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 26th pick they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in pick 66, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A wild overpay on Tyler Davis in pick No. 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They robbed the room for Xavier Worthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Audric Estime in Round 4, Pick 4. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like Ainias Smith reach the 133rd overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Circle this one: Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 140 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick No. 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
They talked themselves into Donell Harris Jr. at the 227th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
