Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a C. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 90 spots for Decamerion Richardson, and value like that does not grow back. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Foster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
If Marvin Harrison Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They robbed the room for Nate Wiggins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Paul in No. 49 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A tidy little value on Braden Fiske in pick No. 61, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 66th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in No. 71. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at slot 86, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Javon Baker
They paid sticker price for Javon Baker in the 91st overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in pick 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in Round 4, Pick 7 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick109
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They reached a country mile for Beau Brade at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They liked Isaac Guerendo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in pick No. 114: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 115th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter is a better player than slot 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in No. 117, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Gould at the 128th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They reached into another round for Cody Schrader, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They went early on Trevor Keegan in the 133rd pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at No. 134, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in pick 138; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Cowing a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They talked themselves into Brandon Coleman at slot 151, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
No drama and no debate, Sione Vaki went about where he belonged in pick No. 155. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick157
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at slot 162 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at pick No. 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick177
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 177th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach pick 186 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 187, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 191st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Crumedy this early at Round 6, Pick 21. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in No. 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 214 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 222nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cedric Johnson
They took Cedric Johnson at par in pick 226, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Value said wait; Decamerion Richardson in Round 7, Pick 8 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the 240th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at No. 253. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
