Draft Grade — Cardinals

The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Lewis: A-. Thirty-one other rooms let Robert Lewis slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 251st overall pick. Highway robbery. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Deebo Samuel leading the way.
Bottom line, with T'Vondre Sweat leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 30 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 65th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66
Rnd3
Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in Round 3, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
The board had Ja'Lynn Polk higher than pick No. 70, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in the 83rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102
Rnd4
Christian Haynes
Nice patience on Christian Haynes, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Marshawn Kneeland
A straight-up fair deal on Marshawn Kneeland at pick 109, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at No. 133. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick136
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A tidy little value on Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 36, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at the 139th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 151st overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
A tidy bit of business in pick 169, where J. Michael Sturdivant graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
De'Corian Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, De'Corian Clark in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Robert Lewis
Somehow Robert Lewis was still sitting there in pick No. 251, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
