Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Andrew Coker, 119 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Getting Davis where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 2 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick3
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
The board had cheaper options than Taliese Fuaga at No. 3, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 18th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 21 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 29 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 30th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In No. 31 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Corley in Round 2, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35
Rnd2
Malik Washington
They talked themselves into Malik Washington at the 35th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
They barely believed it either: Jer'Zhan Newton still on the board at the 36th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Graham Barton at No. 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 40 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A big swing on Marshawn Kneeland at Round 2, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in No. 50, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They will replay Nate Wiggins at the 51st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Zak Zinter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zak Zinter in pick No. 53, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Value said wait; Renardo Green in the 55th pick says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick56
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in T.J. Tampa. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick58
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at No. 58. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 59th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They liked Ja'Lynn Polk enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jalen McMillan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen McMillan. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at pick 65 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 66, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in slot 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Max Melton
They went early on Max Melton in No. 68, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the 69th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Nothing to complain about; Bralen Trice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 71st pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Cowing well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
They reached into another round for Luke McCaffrey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
They reached a country mile for Andru Phillips at slot 80, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Austin Booker in pick No. 83. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They paid a round early for DeWayne Carter in No. 85, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 86th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Value with a capital V on Brandon Dorlus in pick 87, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at the 89th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in No. 92, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kingsley Suamataia in the 93rd pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Circle this one: Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 98 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at slot 100 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in Round 4, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
They robbed the room for Zach Frazier here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
The board fumbled Sedrick Van Pran all the way to No. 106, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
You do not let a safety like Dadrion Taylor-Demerson reach Round 4, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in the 109th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They did well to land Cole Bishop in the 110th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick112
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at pick 113, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in Round 4, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Logan Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Lee in pick No. 120, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 122. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in slot 123 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Hall well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They reached into another round for Trevor Keegan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 127th pick, where Jarvis Brownlee Jr. graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick137
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A wild overpay on Hunter Nourzad in pick 137, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Coleman this early at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in the 139th overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in slot 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
They read the board right and Chau Smith-Wade was the payoff at No. 141. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick142
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Beau Brade at the 142nd pick is the proof. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick146
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 146 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They took Dallin Holker at par in No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Brennan Jackson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Sione Vaki

Pick158
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kimani Vidal. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
They reached into another round for Andrew Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A big swing on Justin Rogers at pick 163, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan

Pick166
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 166 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Steal is underselling it; Nehemiah Pritchett at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick171
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in No. 171; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Taking Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at the 174th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick176
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Watts well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177
Rnd6
Trey Knox

Pick181
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford

Pick182
Rnd6
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Pick183
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
A tidy little value on Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 183, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson slipping to the 186th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy

Pick193
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 6, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Johnson in pick No. 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at the 219th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at Round 6, Pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Crumedy at No. 221, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marcellas Dial in the 222nd overall pick, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
A running back of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They reached a country mile for Jowon Briggs at the 230th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231
Rnd7
Myles Cole
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Myles Cole in pick No. 231, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
Josiah Ezirim in No. 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
They talked themselves into Anim Dankwah at slot 239, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in the 240th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They reached into another round for Decamerion Richardson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A reach for Sam Hartman in slot 246; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at No. 251. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A conviction pick on C.J. Hanson at the 253rd pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
