Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC-
The Cardinals let Guyton fall and pounced. Final grade: D-. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 32 picks early on Jordan Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Guyton. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
No drama and no debate, JC Latham went about where he belonged in the 17th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the Round 1 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Dallas Turner
They will replay Dallas Turner at Round 2, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamari Lassiter at pick 41 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 48 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Value said wait; Malachi Corley in No. 57 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at the 66th pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 71st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in pick No. 79, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at Round 3, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 115 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They took MarShawn Lloyd at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Nothing to complain about; Jalyx Hunt went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A tidy bit of business in pick 152, where Jaheim Bell graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They did well to land Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They paid sticker price for Cody Schrader in pick No. 168, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
You do not let an edge rusher like Keith Randolph Jr. reach the 180th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in pick 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at slot 195 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the OT-EDGE. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick203
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 203 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th pick with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219
Rnd6
Marcellas Dial
The board fumbled Marcellas Dial all the way to the 219th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 2 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
Josiah Ezirim in pick No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
A tidy little value on Sheridan Jones in slot 243, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax in the 251st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
