Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Willie Lampkin; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 60 spots ahead at the Round 4 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
However the rest shakes out, Arroyo at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slid further than he should have, and the 39th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at slot 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A big swing on Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 51, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at the 58th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 32: Jonah Savaiinaea for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 78, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 82nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They robbed the room for Deone Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Nice patience on Jared Ivey, who had no business lasting to pick No. 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter slipping to Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at No. 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 98th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 35. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Value with a capital V on Chris Paul Jr. in slot 103, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aeneas Peebles well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in the 107th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 110th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 112 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tory Horton
No edge and no loss on Tory Horton in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at pick 114 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 118, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at slot 120. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in Round 4, Pick 20 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Slater. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in pick No. 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hollin Pierce in pick 129. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in No. 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Nick Nash
They jumped the gun on Nick Nash, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 136th pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the 161st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
