Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: C+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the 212th pick on Jawhar Jordan, a name the board had a full 67 spots lower.
Getting Solomon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
If Laiatu Latu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 23 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In slot 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 31st pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A curious use of slot 32. Quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Ennis Rakestraw Jr. did not.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 35 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 43rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
The board had Ladd McConkey higher than the 47th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 3, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They read the board right and Zach Frazier was the payoff at pick No. 72. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 75 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83
Rnd3
Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the 83rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cade Stover at No. 89 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Nice patience on Renardo Green, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at slot 104, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
A want over a need in pick 105: Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick108
Rnd4
Austin Booker
You do not let an edge rusher like Austin Booker reach pick No. 108 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Taking Brandon Dorlus in the 110th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 4, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 120 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
A big swing on Jacob Cowing at slot 126, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac Guerendo at Round 5, Pick 2. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 157th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Davis in the 158th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162
Rnd5
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at pick 162 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick164
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had cheaper options than Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 164, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 184th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in pick 189. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at the 202nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at slot 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Somehow Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was still sitting there in pick No. 226, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Coker well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Circle this one: Michael Barrett at the 254th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
