Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

If Harrell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Oladapo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 23rd pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 32 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in No. 41, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 58 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in the 77th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at pick No. 88 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They did well to land Bucky Irving in slot 95, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 12, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 129th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They went early on Braiden McGregor in the 164th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy bit of business in pick 169, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick No. 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They jumped the gun on Michael Barrett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 229th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
