Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB+
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the C. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Tahj Washington, taking him 159 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Hit on Olumuyiwa Fashanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 27th pick they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
A reach on Braden Fiske in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in the 71st overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac slipping to pick No. 72 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in slot 77. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 104th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They jumped the gun on Darius Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 112th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 119 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 120 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
They reached a country mile for Chau Smith-Wade at No. 134, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick137
Rnd5
Austin Booker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Booker well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
The board had Jalyx Hunt higher than Round 5, Pick 4, and the S-EDGE fell to them anyway. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick147
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No edge and no loss on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 147; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
By-the-book stuff, Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at the 178th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at slot 180 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brevyn Spann-Ford. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
Good price on JD Bertrand in No. 198, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
A big swing on Walter Rouse at the 222nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 225th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
Steal is underselling it; Austin Stogner at slot 227 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in pick No. 229 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at Round 7, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
They paid sticker price for Maurice Smith in slot 243, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
They went early on Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 251, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trey Wedig
A conviction pick on Trey Wedig at the 255th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
