Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B+. The Cardinals did not so much draft Jordan Travis as overpay for him, 112 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Baker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They have staked the next five years on Michael Penix Jr., which is the only story that really matters here.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The veteran additions, Byron Murphy Jr. chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 2nd pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick3
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 3 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In slot 7 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 8th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.

Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 10th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick11
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 16 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at pick No. 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick23
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 24 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
They reached into another round for Malachi Corley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick31
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the 31st pick they get a No. 1 receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In pick 32 they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in slot 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at No. 34, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 35th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A real head-scratcher, Marshawn Kneeland in slot 42 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in Round 2, Pick 11 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 45 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A reach for Jaylen Wright in the 50th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 52, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They robbed the room for Tyler Guyton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Paul. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 65th pick, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in the 67th overall 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.
Pick68
Rnd3
Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at pick 68 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in pick No. 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Fair-plus on Ja'Lynn Polk, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
They will replay Chris Braswell at Round 3, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
The board fumbled Adisa Isaac all the way to pick 75, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in slot 78, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at pick No. 79 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Renardo Green
The board had Renardo Green higher than the 80th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick82
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They talked themselves into Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 83, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick87
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 87th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeWayne Carter this early at the 90th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 98 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at slot 99, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 100 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 1, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Jackson in pick 102, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalyx Hunt well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 105th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at No. 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in the 107th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cedric Johnson
They talked themselves into Cedric Johnson at pick No. 109, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 110 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 114 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tip Reiman
Value said wait; Tip Reiman in the 124th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Adams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 131st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Decamerion Richardson. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick135
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They barely believed it either: MarShawn Lloyd still on the board at No. 135. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Javon Baker
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
They liked Anthony Gould enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A quiet steal in the 139th pick: Jacob Cowing for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at No. 140 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They reached into another round for Tahj Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 142 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
They read the board right and Leonard Taylor III was the payoff at the 143rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick No. 146 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in No. 147, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick152
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They reached a country mile for Sione Vaki at pick No. 152, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick158
Rnd5
Beau Brade
They paid sticker price for Beau Brade in slot 158, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick161
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Value with a capital V on Mason McCormick in the 166th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
This one needs a full-page explanation: Delmar Glaze in the 172nd overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
A slide stopped in the 173rd pick, with McKinnley Jackson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in slot 176 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Monk in No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
They went early on Nathan Thomas in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 183 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Taking Isaiah Davis in the 187th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
You do not let a running back like Dylan Laube reach pick No. 192 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in pick 193. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 196th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A conviction pick on Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 197th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200
Rnd6
AJ Barner
Somehow AJ Barner was still sitting there in No. 200, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javion Cohen at Round 6, Pick 34 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson in slot 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
They paid a round early for Garret Greenfield in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at the 213th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 215th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at Round 6, Pick 43 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They talked themselves into Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 222, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in slot 225 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Logan Lee
A reach on Logan Lee in pick 226; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
A tidy little value on Justin Rogers in the 231st pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235
Rnd7
Frank Crum
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Crum in slot 235, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the 238th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick240
Rnd7
Evan Williams
Evan Williams is a better player than No. 240 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick242
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Steal is underselling it; Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
No edge and no loss on Jackson Sirmon in slot 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Coker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylon Carlies a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
