Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Coleman: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Brandon Coleman at pick No. 138 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The cost of the Schrader reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 5th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the 35th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Nice patience on Chris Braswell, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A quiet steal in pick No. 71: Adisa Isaac for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Renardo Green
You do not let a safety like Renardo Green reach slot 90 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in No. 104, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 129th pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick 138 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They barely believed it either: Jacob Cowing still on the board at Round 5, Pick 9. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick No. 162 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at No. 177 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They will replay Trevor Keegan at the 186th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in slot 187, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
