Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. There is reaching, and then there is Shaun Dolac at No. 190. The Cardinals jumped the board by 119 and dared it to prove them wrong. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 26th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
No drama and no debate, Demetrius Knight Jr. went about where he belonged in the 55th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in pick No. 69, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in slot 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 91st overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Taking Harold Fannin Jr. in the 92nd pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A tidy bit of business in No. 93, where Isaiah Bond graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
A conviction pick on Kyle McCord at Round 4, Pick 7 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 115 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They talked themselves into Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 116, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at the 117th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Logan Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 17, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach No. 125 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton at slot 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick No. 152 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
The board had cheaper options than Willie Lampkin at slot 153, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Baron at the 159th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey is a better player than the 166th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at No. 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chase Lundt in pick 175. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Connor Colby
A quiet steal in pick No. 182: Connor Colby for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in pick 185, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at Round 6, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shaun Dolac well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 193 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at slot 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
They jumped the gun on Cam Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in slot 238 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at pick 241 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 243rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
A big swing on Thomas Fidone II at No. 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to pick No. 245, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
