Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall F
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Cardinals finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a F.

The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Landing Green that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

If Cohen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A tidy little value on Marvin Harrison Jr. in pick No. 4, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick11 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 11 they get their guy under center for the next decade. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They read the board right and Chop Robinson was the payoff at the 36th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Circle this one: Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 44 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Taking Kris Jenkins in the 71st pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the 90th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Corum
They barely believed it either: Blake Corum still on the board at pick No. 104. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They will replay Christian Mahogany at slot 129 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo is a better player than Round 5, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in No. 186 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 3, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 226th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
