Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Hadden. Final grade: D-. Nobody else had Darius Robinson anywhere near the Round 3 slot. The Cardinals did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hadden. 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
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 54 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 66th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at the 90th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Haynes in No. 97, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Hicks at pick No. 107, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 4, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They went early on Cody Schrader in Round 5, Pick 24, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They did well to land Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 167, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick No. 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick169
Rnd5
Renardo Green
The board had Renardo Green higher than the 169th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
No edge and no loss on LaDarius Henderson in No. 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
A reach for Andrew Coker in the 171st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 174 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A reach on Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184
Rnd6
Brennan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brennan Jackson in the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 6, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 192 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick200
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Layden Robinson at pick No. 200 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 224th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick240
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
