Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Coker reach set a tone the Cardinals could not shake: F.

Somebody took the Cardinals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

The cost of the Coker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The Beebe value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jonathon Brooks
In pick 27 they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 35th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Steal is underselling it; Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than slot 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A conviction pick on Cam Hart at pick No. 90 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at pick No. 104, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at slot 138, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Coker well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Sundell at the 256th pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still slipping to the 257th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
