Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Cody Schrader, 143 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
That Washington pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Kirk Cousins leading the way.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Roman Wilson
In slot 30 they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 32nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Legette well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 2, Pick 2 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Value said wait; Cade Stover in pick 35 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 37 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They reached into another round for Ruke Orhorhoro, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A wild overpay on Marshawn Kneeland in pick 39, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick42
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at pick No. 42, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43
Rnd2
Max Melton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Melton in slot 43, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick44
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They talked themselves into Michael Hall Jr. at the 44th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They reached a country mile for T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Taking J.J. McCarthy in the 49th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2

Pick53
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten

Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Benson this early at Round 2, Pick 22. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick No. 55 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Isaiah Adams
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Adams in the 58th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick62
Rnd2
Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in Round 2, Pick 30, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 64th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Junior Colson
You do not let a linebacker like Junior Colson reach the 65th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarvis Brownlee Jr.. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 68 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 69 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in slot 70 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick No. 72 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.
Pick74
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Nothing to complain about; Austin Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in the 75th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77
Rnd3

Pick82
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at the 83rd pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 3, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Keon Coleman

Pick86
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
The board fumbled Ja'Lynn Polk all the way to No. 86, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Javon Baker

Pick89
Rnd3

Pick90
Rnd3

Pick96
Rnd3

A big swing on Tyler Davis at the 96th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3

Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100

Pick105
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Blake Fisher in the 105th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4

Zak Zinter in pick No. 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at slot 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kamari Lassiter

Pick119
Rnd4

Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson

Pick127
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
They did well to land Brennan Jackson in No. 127, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
They liked Anthony Gould enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Value with a capital V on Jacob Cowing in pick No. 138, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
By-the-book stuff, Ainias Smith at the 139th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140

Nice patience on Leonard Taylor III, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141
Rnd5
Myles Cole

Steal is underselling it; Matt Goncalves at pick 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146
Rnd5
Mason McCormick

Pick148
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 148th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 5, Pick 15 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152
Rnd5

A premium they did not need to pay, McKinnley Jackson a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5

Pick170
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick No. 170 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson slid further than he should have, and the 180th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
A straight-up fair deal on Nelson Ceaser at No. 181, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182

Pick183
Rnd6

Value said wait; Myles Murphy in the 208th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They paid up for JD Bertrand at No. 211 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
A reach for Darius Muasau in slot 212; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
They paid sticker price for Steele Chambers in pick No. 222, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
They reached a country mile for Jackson Sirmon at Round 7, Pick 9, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 231st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at the 238th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 240 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Taylor at pick No. 242 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249
Rnd7
Dallas Gant
Dallas Gant at the 249th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in slot 251 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.
Pick252
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Coker this early at pick 252. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston at Round 7, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
They reached into another round for X'Zauvea Gadlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
