Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Larceny in the 137th pick lands the Cardinals a B, Carson and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Caelen Carson slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 137th overall pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Devon Witherspoon leading the way.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in pick No. 35, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A conviction pick on Braden Fiske at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 7, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in the 72nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley slipping to the 90th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They read the board right and Tykee Smith was the payoff at slot 105. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 112 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt slid further than he should have, and the 113th overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 147th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 161 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than Round 6, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in No. 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Somehow Kimani Vidal was still sitting there in slot 222, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
The board fumbled Andrew Raym all the way to pick No. 224, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A tidy little value on Trente Jones in No. 253, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at slot 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 257th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
