Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a A-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 57 spots early, and the room will hear about it. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the 28th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In pick No. 32 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Good price on Christian Haynes in the 64th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The board had Javon Bullard higher than pick 66, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to slot 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 74 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Melton
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at pick 95. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A tidy little value on MarShawn Lloyd in the 104th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 106 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 4, Pick 9 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 143rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Nice patience on Jaylin Simpson, who had no business lasting to No. 144. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick165
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in slot 165. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Kalen King
Taking Kalen King in Round 6, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick187
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 187th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They took Curtis Jacobs at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at No. 210 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
