Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Decamerion Richardson, 92 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pratt. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 8 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 13th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick17
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick 18 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick19
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 19 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 28th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 29th pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick No. 31 they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In pick 32 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Corley this early at the 33rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zach Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Wilson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They talked themselves into Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 4, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A big swing on Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 40, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 43 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 44 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A wild overpay on Marshawn Kneeland in slot 45, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in the 47th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
They barely believed it either: Rome Odunze still on the board at No. 49. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Nice patience on Tyler Nubin, who had no business lasting to pick No. 55. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick56
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 24 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 63rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
They reached a country mile for Cole Bishop at the 64th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick66
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 4, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Adisa Isaac in No. 70. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They paid sticker price for DeWayne Carter in pick No. 96, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the 101st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 102 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at Round 4, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 112 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Value said wait; Mohamed Kamara in pick 114 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalyx Hunt. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 116, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 117th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118
Rnd4
Malik Washington
The board fumbled Malik Washington all the way to the 118th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Solomon at pick No. 126. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick128
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in No. 128 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They reached into another round for Justin Eboigbe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd5
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
They paid a round early for Jacob Cowing in the 138th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in the 139th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 141 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A quiet steal in No. 142: Christian Jones for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick 145 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Logan Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Lee in the 150th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152
Rnd5
Eric Watts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Watts this early at Round 5, Pick 16. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in Round 5, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
A real head-scratcher, JD Bertrand in slot 154 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A straight-up fair deal on Sione Vaki at pick No. 155, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick160
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Brennan Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They robbed the room for AJ Barner here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in pick 190. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They reached a country mile for Trey Knox at the 191st pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick 193 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at No. 194, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Fair-plus on Justin Rogers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 197 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at Round 6, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Magee well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
A wild overpay on Myles Murphy in the 202nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reach for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 209, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Value said wait; Tyrice Knight in pick No. 210 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
You do not let a cornerback like Ro Torrence reach No. 211 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick214
Rnd6
Michael Pratt
They will replay Michael Pratt at pick 214 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in the 215th overall pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick218
Rnd6
Dillon Johnson
Circle this one: Dillon Johnson at Round 6, Pick 43 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 219th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at pick No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
They talked themselves into Marcellas Dial at the 223rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A wild overpay on Josh Proctor in pick 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
They paid up for Andrew Raym at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Value said wait; Jowon Briggs in Round 7, Pick 14 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Good price on Nathan Thomas in the 236th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for X'Zauvea Gadlin. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at the 246th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
A real head-scratcher, Jarrett Kingston in Round 7, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
They let Donovan Jennings come to them and pounced at No. 253. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 255 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
