Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Kimani Vidal. He came off 114 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tracy Jr.. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
They took Joe Alt at par in pick No. 2, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick3
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 3 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 4th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 8th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 9 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In the 25th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 27th pick they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In slot 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In No. 31 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
They talked themselves into Malachi Corley at the 32nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick33
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricky Pearsall. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in Round 2, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Wilson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 40 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 41 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 43 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Cade Stover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cade Stover in the 48th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Value said wait; Renardo Green in slot 52 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
They reached a country mile for Mike Sainristil at No. 53, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick54
Rnd2
Max Melton
A real head-scratcher, Max Melton in the 54th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 27, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Hall Jr. this early at the 60th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 63 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 65 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A big swing on MarShawn Lloyd at the 66th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 68 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They will replay Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Austin Booker
By-the-book stuff, Austin Booker at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
The board had cheaper options than Dominick Puni at the 76th pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 78. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
A wild overpay on DeWayne Carter in No. 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick82
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at the 82nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 19 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Good price on Brandon Dorlus in Round 3, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKinnley Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in pick 90 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Circle this one: Kamren Kinchens at slot 98 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick100
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 101st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in No. 102, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 104 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at slot 105 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 106th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Steal is underselling it; Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick110
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A conviction pick on Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to the 112th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Taking Caelen Carson in pick 118 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in pick No. 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Marcus Harris
They reached into another round for Marcus Harris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A big swing on Brennan Jackson at Round 4, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
They reached a country mile for Braiden McGregor at the 126th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Value with a capital V on Elijah Jones in the 127th pick, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick136
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A real head-scratcher, Sione Vaki in slot 136 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal

Pick140
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 140th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
A slide stopped in the 141st overall pick, with Beaux Limmer worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at pick 142, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144

Pick146
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They talked themselves into Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A wild overpay on Grayson Murphy in No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas

Mason McCormick slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 158th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 161, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash

Pick166
Rnd5
Walter Rouse

Pick169

Pick172
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha

Pick174

Pick177

Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Murphy in pick No. 180, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Watts well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson

Pick191
Rnd6
Javion Cohen

Pick193
Rnd6

Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199

Pick200
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan

Pick202

Keilan Robinson
A wild overpay on Keilan Robinson in pick No. 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They barely believed it either: Tyrone Tracy Jr. still on the board at No. 211. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 42, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They paid sticker price for Trey Knox in pick 219, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Crumedy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242
Rnd7

They will replay Erick All at slot 242 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
