Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureC
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Cardinals steal Schrader and grade out a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Cody Schrader at slot 219 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Grable has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Cardinals indulged a want in Sainristil while a need in quarterback stayed open.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinyon Mitchell in the 35th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slipping to Round 2, Pick 18 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in slot 53. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach pick No. 66 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Taking Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 86th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mike Sainristil at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in slot 103 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the 112th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Beau Brade
By-the-book stuff, Beau Brade at No. 137 squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Somehow Jacob Cowing was still sitting there in pick 160, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha is a better player than Round 5, Pick 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
They took Jalyx Hunt at par in slot 170, which is nothing to complain about. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick171
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
The board had Trevor Keegan higher than the Round 5 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They paid up for Justin Rogers at the 184th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 185 with a little surplus value in Caedan Wallace. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 192 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 201st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in pick 210, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They reached into another round for Logan Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in Round 6, Pick 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
They barely believed it either: Curtis Jacobs still on the board at the 224th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Khristian Boyd
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 226 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
The board fumbled Nathaniel Watson all the way to pick No. 238, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
No edge and no loss on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 245th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Myles Murphy in No. 247, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick 255 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tylan Grable in pick No. 256, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcellas Dial. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
