Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueD+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a D-. Nobody had Shaun Dolac this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 156 spots to get him at the 159th pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
They paid a round early for JT Tuimoloau in the 36th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A wild overpay on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 47. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at slot 65, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
No drama and no debate, Elijah Arroyo went about where he belonged in pick 78. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
No edge and no loss on Carson Schwesinger in the 81st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 3 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tez Johnson in slot 86, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Phillips well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 94 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick 97 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
They reached a country mile for O'Donnell Fortune at the 104th pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 5 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.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Fair-plus on Jaylin Noel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
They took Hollin Pierce at par in slot 113, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
David Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Walker this early at the 116th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Will Howard
The board had Will Howard higher than No. 117, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A slide stopped in pick 118, with Lathan Ransom worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
A conviction pick on Mello Dotson at pick No. 125 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jabbar Muhammad. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Ty Robinson in Round 4, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 132 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 133 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at the 135th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
Value said wait; Ahmed Hassanein in the 138th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at pick No. 139 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nick Nash
They paid up for Nick Nash at Round 5, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 142 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt 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.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Monheim at pick 145, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
A big swing on Cam Jackson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
They reached into another round for Tyler Cooper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 153rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 15 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
They went early on RJ Harvey in the 155th pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick No. 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Williams in slot 161, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
A big swing on Miles Frazier at the 163rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Carson Vinson
They talked themselves into Carson Vinson at pick No. 164, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in No. 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in Round 5, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at slot 175 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
