Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureC
The Cardinals overdrafted Sorrell and paid the price. Grade: F. Nobody else had Barryn Sorrell anywhere near Round 5, Pick 14. The Cardinals did, by 174 spots, and that gap is the whole story. There is no dressing it up: a F.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at Round 1, Pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Ezeiruaku. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 47 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
A wild overpay on Ozzy Trapilo in pick 54, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the 81st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo is a better player than the 94th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
They read the board right and Dylan Fairchild was the payoff at slot 110. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 114 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 123rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 170th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at No. 172 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ricky White III
Ricky White III in pick 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Value said wait; Kyle Williams in the 190th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
RJ Harvey
Taking RJ Harvey in pick No. 222 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
DJ Uiagalelei
A big swing on DJ Uiagalelei at slot 240, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
