Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
F
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC-
A weekend the Cardinals spent fighting the board, and losing. F. There is reaching, and then there is Matthew Jones at pick No. 254. The Cardinals jumped the board by 37 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick14
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick No. 14 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
By-the-book stuff, Dallas Turner at the 22nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
They read the board right and Taliese Fuaga was the payoff at slot 35. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in pick 38, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106
Rnd4
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick 106 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in the 114th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Theo Wease
Theo Wease at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 123. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in the 132nd overall pick, where Max Melton graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
They paid sticker price for Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 140, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 160 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy little value on Billy Bowman Jr. in the 162nd pick, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 165th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
A quiet steal in pick 171: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte slid further than he should have, and No. 175 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 6, Pick 12 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They did well to land Layden Robinson in pick No. 197, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ali Jennings
Ali Jennings at slot 201 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
DeWayne Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DeWayne Carter at the 211th pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
Value with a capital V on Miles Frazier in No. 220, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Ricky Pearsall
The board fumbled Ricky Pearsall all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in the 224th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231
Rnd7
Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa in pick 231 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234
Rnd7
Dominic Lovett
A real head-scratcher, Dominic Lovett in Round 7, Pick 14 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Williams in the 245th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 247th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in slot 254 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
