Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

TradesA+
FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B-. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 175th overall pick on Shaun Dolac a full 126 spots early.
That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tate Ratledge in the 47th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They let Aireontae Ersery come to them and pounced at No. 55. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 81 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in slot 82 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd3
Jermari Harris
No edge and no loss on Jermari Harris in slot 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 115 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A premium they did not need to pay, Shemar Turner a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Somehow Charles Grant was still sitting there in the 118th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
The board had Luke Kandra higher than the 135th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Good price on Darius Alexander in pick 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 138th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 4, Pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ahmed Hassanein
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ahmed Hassanein this early at No. 153. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 167 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in slot 173 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
They reached into another round for Shaun Dolac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179
Rnd6
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in No. 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick187
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 187 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 11 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in pick 198, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
Circle this one: RJ Harvey at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Cam Jackson at the 208th pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
By-the-book stuff, Carson Vinson at slot 212 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at the 220th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They barely believed it either: Dont'e Thornton Jr. still on the board at slot 226. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in No. 227, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Steal is underselling it; Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at pick 230, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
