Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Knox at Round 6, Pick 5 regardless, 107 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
They banked enough surplus on Hart to cover a lot of smaller sins. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
The veteran additions, Keenan Allen chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
No drama and no debate, Marvin Harrison Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 2. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 3rd pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 10th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 17 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 18 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick19
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 19 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.

In slot 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 21st pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1

Pick25
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27

Roman Wilson
In the 27th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 1 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In No. 29 they get a go-to option on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick32
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end, a steep price for the projection.
Pick33
Rnd2
Max Melton
A real head-scratcher, Max Melton in pick No. 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at the 34th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 2, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 36th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey Benson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Benson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
The board had J.J. McCarthy higher than slot 38, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They talked themselves into Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 39, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They reached into another round for T'Vondre Sweat, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Hall Jr. this early at pick 41. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick42
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at pick 43 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Junior Colson

Pick45
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 45 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 46th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 47 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 49 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 20 with a little surplus value in Kris Jenkins. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 59 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
A slide stopped in No. 65, with Adisa Isaac worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mekhi Wingo in the 66th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They reached a country mile for Cedric Gray at the 67th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Austin Booker

Pick69
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at slot 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Value said wait; Mohamed Kamara in Round 3, Pick 6 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Value with a capital V on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 74, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A wild overpay on Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
The board had cheaper options than Bralen Trice at No. 76, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 78th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in pick 79, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Malik Washington
No edge and no loss on Malik Washington in slot 80; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Amarius Mims

Pick82
Rnd3
Patrick Paul

Pick83
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in pick No. 83, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick84
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They talked themselves into Decamerion Richardson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick86
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at No. 86 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 88th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus

Pick97
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at the 97th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams

Pick99
Rnd3

Rnd4
Jonah Elliss

Pick102
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A conviction pick on Javon Solomon at pick No. 102 that the board grades a round light. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Nice patience on Dominick Puni, who had no business lasting to the 103rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jarvis Brownlee Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick105
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in slot 105 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick106
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109

Pick110
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing

Pick114

Pick115
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 115th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4

Pick121
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 121st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Trevin Wallace
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in pick No. 122, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4

Pick130
Rnd4

Pick140
Rnd5

Pick141
Rnd5

This one needs a full-page explanation: Keilan Robinson in the 175th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
A big swing on Tyrice Knight at the 176th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at slot 180 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
A wild overpay on Darius Muasau in No. 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
A premium they did not need to pay, Grayson Murphy a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the 183rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cam Hart
They barely believed it either: Cam Hart still on the board at Round 6, Pick 11. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 187 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at No. 188, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 189 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Jha'Quan Jackson in pick No. 190, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
The board fumbled Sataoa Laumea all the way to the 196th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at Round 6, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick 198 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Fair-plus on Nathan Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at Round 6, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 212th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Lee well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
They reached into another round for Myles Murphy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in slot 222. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick224
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 224th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon at pick 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
You do not let a safety like Josh Proctor reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
No edge and no loss on Jacob Monk in pick No. 228; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Harrell in Round 7, Pick 9. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jowon Briggs. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Dylan Laube
Taking Dylan Laube in slot 238 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
A tidy bit of business in the 240th overall pick, where Garret Greenfield graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor is a better player than No. 241 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247
Rnd7
Frank Crum
They took Frank Crum at par in the 247th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 249th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
A reach for Charles Turner III in pick 251; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in Round 7, Pick 32, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin in slot 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
