Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Keilan Robinson at Round 4, Pick 29, roughly 181 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
On value alone, Ford makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 2 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick3
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 3rd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 4th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 6 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 16th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 17 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
Fair-plus on Taliese Fuaga, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick23
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 26th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 27 they get an enforcer at safety, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In slot 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 32nd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A conviction pick on Roman Wilson at No. 34 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They paid a round early for Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 3, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in pick No. 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in the 43rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A wild overpay on Christian Haynes in pick 47, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marshawn Kneeland. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in slot 61. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick64
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A big swing on Michael Hall Jr. at the 64th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 65 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 66 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 69th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick72
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They paid sticker price for Renardo Green in the 72nd overall pick, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
They robbed the room for T.J. Tampa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick78
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They talked themselves into MarShawn Lloyd at slot 78, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 81st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at No. 83. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kimani Vidal
Value said wait; Kimani Vidal in pick No. 84 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 31 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They reached a country mile for Cedric Gray at the 95th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
They reached into another round for Jalyx Hunt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd4
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 101 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in the 102nd pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A slide stopped in the 103rd overall pick, with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 104, and it noticed. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick105
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 4, Pick 5 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick106
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at slot 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick107
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Jackson in pick No. 110, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick 112 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
Value said wait; Anthony Gould in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They reached into another round for Jacob Cowing, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
They reached a country mile for Luke McCaffrey at Round 4, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in pick 124 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at slot 125, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129
Rnd4
Keilan Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keilan Robinson this early at pick No. 129. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 131st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A clean, defensible pick in the 132nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Chau Smith-Wade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick133
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick137
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Jones at slot 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick139
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at pick No. 139, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They jumped the gun on Justin Eboigbe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
The board fumbled Leonard Taylor III all the way to the 141st pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at pick 142, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at slot 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 146th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Harris. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 155th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
You do not let an offensive lineman like Blake Fisher reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
Taking Isaiah Adams in Round 5, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 166 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at Round 5, Pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 172 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
They let Hunter Nourzad come to them and pounced at slot 175. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
They will replay Isaiah Davis at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the 177th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick179
Rnd6
Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 179 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Circle this one: Dylan Laube at the 180th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at pick 182. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick183
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick No. 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 186th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at the 187th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
They read the board right and Fabien Lovett was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson is a better player than slot 192 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 193 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 196, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Johnson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 211th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at Round 6, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Somehow Tanor Bortolini was still sitting there in No. 214, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in pick 215, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Value with a capital V on Joe Milton III in the 216th overall pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
They will replay Jase McClellan at pick No. 217 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
They barely believed it either: Daijun Edwards still on the board at pick 218. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jared Wiley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wiley in slot 221. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
They reached a country mile for Andrew Coker at the 222nd pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 225 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the 226th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steal is underselling it; Steele Chambers at the 235th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
Circle this one: Kendall Milton at the 239th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
You do not let a linebacker like Nathaniel Watson reach No. 241 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Taking Myles Harden in pick No. 242 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
The board fumbled Tatum Bethune all the way to pick 251, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to slot 254, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
