Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureD+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Shaun Dolac, 185 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Starks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 30th pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick32
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In slot 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tetairoa McMillan
Somehow Tetairoa McMillan was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 64 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at No. 75, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 78 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 85 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darien Porter
Circle this one: Darien Porter at the 104th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 109th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Deone Walker
They robbed the room for Deone Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tai Felton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tai Felton reach the 117th pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at pick 118 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in pick No. 132, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at No. 133 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in Round 4, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
They will replay Joshua Farmer at slot 135 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
A reach on Pat Bryant in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd4
CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to the 138th pick, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Williams well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in pick No. 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick153
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
They paid up for RJ Harvey at the 153rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in pick 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
