Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Dominic Zvada a full 132 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Abney II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 16th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Akheem Mesidor
They talked themselves into Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 34, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
No drama and no debate, Chris Johnson went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick37
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Value with a capital V on Olaivavega Ioane in pick 37, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 38 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick39
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
They barely believed it either: Denzel Boston still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at pick No. 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the 41st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Garrett Nussmeier
A reach on Garrett Nussmeier in pick 65; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at Round 3, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 67th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
A tidy bit of business in No. 68, where Gennings Dunker graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They let Lee Hunter come to them and pounced at slot 69. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in No. 70 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor is a better player than slot 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
You do not let a cornerback like Keith Abney II reach Round 3, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick94
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in the 94th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Kyle Louis
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Louis in pick 96 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hezekiah Masses this early at pick No. 101. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 102nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jack Endries
They took Jack Endries at par in the 103rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in the 104th overall pick, miles early. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
A big swing on Nadame Tucker at Round 4, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick107
Rnd4
Red Murdock
Red Murdock at No. 107 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dominic Zvada
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominic Zvada. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
