Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Keilan Robinson in slot 192, a good 118 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barner. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 2 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at pick 3 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick4
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a sticky cover corner, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick5
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 5th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 7th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 29th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at pick No. 35 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Payton Wilson in slot 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Value said wait; Malachi Corley in the 38th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A reach on Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Zak Zinter
A wild overpay on Zak Zinter in the 52nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at slot 53, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54
Rnd2
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 2, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They let Tyler Nubin come to them and pounced at No. 56. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marshawn Kneeland this early at the 57th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They went early on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 58th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 59 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A slide stopped in No. 63, with Adisa Isaac worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominick Puni in pick No. 67, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick69
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 71st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bralen Trice in the 73rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 75 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in slot 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 78. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They robbed the room for Xavier Worthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Steal is underselling it; Zach Frazier at the 86th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They liked Christian Mahogany enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at slot 88. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 90th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach pick No. 92 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in Round 3, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in pick 94, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in slot 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
A conviction pick on Matt Goncalves at the 100th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 101 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at Round 4, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
A big swing on Javion Cohen at the 106th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick 107 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They reached into another round for Brandon Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in pick 110, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A wild overpay on Jalyx Hunt in Round 4, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at slot 115 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick No. 117. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 118th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to the 119th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A quiet steal in slot 120: Cole Bishop for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They read the board right and Cedric Gray was the payoff at the 121st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at No. 122, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at Round 4, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at pick 126. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Eric Watts
Value said wait; Eric Watts in the 132nd overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams slipping to slot 133 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 134th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jalen McMillan in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Will Shipley
A running back of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at No. 138. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick139
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade is a better player than pick No. 139 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at pick 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Cowing at the 141st pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Somehow Elijah Jones was still sitting there in No. 143, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick145
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 145. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 5, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
No edge and no loss on Marcus Harris in the 150th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson

Pick155
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A premium they did not need to pay, Cody Schrader a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallin Holker at slot 160 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
This one needs a full-page explanation: Delmar Glaze in No. 162, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at pick No. 164 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at the 166th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They talked themselves into Justin Rogers at Round 5, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168
Rnd5
Myles Cole
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Cole well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
They will replay Tommy Eichenberg at the 169th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
The board had Sione Vaki higher than Round 5, Pick 34, and the safety fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick172
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Johnson in No. 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A tidy bit of business in pick 174, where Nelson Ceaser graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 178th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Murphy

Pick182
Rnd6

Pick186
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 186 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick187
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 187 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at Round 6, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Value said wait; Jawhar Jordan in the 191st overall pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at No. 192 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 195 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington slid further than he should have, and the 196th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 199th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in slot 202 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jaheim Bell in Round 6, Pick 28, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at the 205th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206

Pick207
Rnd6

Pick210
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 213th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick 215. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jarrett Kingston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jarrett Kingston well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Harrell in Round 6, Pick 42, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd6
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the 218th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson

Pick221
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford

Pick222
Rnd7

Pick224
Rnd7
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 224th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 225th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Somehow Ryan Flournoy was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 6, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Trente Jones
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trente Jones reach pick No. 227 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
AJ Barner
They barely believed it either: AJ Barner still on the board at No. 228. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7

Pick230
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick 230 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231

Pick232
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
Taking M.J. Devonshire in pick 232 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.
Pick235
Rnd7
Erick All
Erick All at the 235th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick251
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas

Pick253
Rnd7
