Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C+. Thirty-one other rooms let Walter Rouse slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 210th pick. Highway robbery. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
Every board in the league had Reed lower, and that gap is the story. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Dawson Knox leading the way.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In slot 30 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 32 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
A quiet steal in pick 33: Byron Murphy II for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than the 34th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Kool-Aid McKinstry graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 38 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A conviction pick on Braden Fiske at slot 43 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in Round 2, Pick 13, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 49th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at pick 55 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A reach on Cade Stover in the 58th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at the 66th pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 5. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in No. 71 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at slot 72 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick80
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Nice patience on Ruke Orhorhoro, who had no business lasting to pick No. 80. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A straight-up fair deal on Marshawn Kneeland at pick 81, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 83rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to Round 3, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Malik Washington
No edge and no loss on Malik Washington in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They read the board right and Michael Hall Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 96. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 104th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in No. 106, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
The board had DeWayne Carter higher than pick 110, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Nothing to complain about; Mekhi Wingo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They reached a country mile for Dallin Holker at slot 126, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 134th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at No. 138 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalyx Hunt. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 18 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach the 155th overall pick and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Davis. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 162nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick164
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 164 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They liked Brandon Coleman enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 174. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick206
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Xavier Thomas in pick 206, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Steal is underselling it; Walter Rouse at the 210th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Taking Fabien Lovett in the 213th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Erick All
A slide stopped in No. 214, with Erick All worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Austin Reed at pick No. 226 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick No. 251 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
