Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Shaun Dolac at the 181st overall pick is 157 spots clear of where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Getting Savaiinaea where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In slot 23 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 24th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They reached into another round for Darien Porter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at pick No. 36. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Value said wait; Jayden Higgins in the 37th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in pick No. 54, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 62 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tai Felton
A big swing on Tai Felton at No. 71, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the 74th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jonah Savaiinaea
They will replay Jonah Savaiinaea at Round 3, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in the 85th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cody Simon
They talked themselves into Cody Simon at pick 108, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick 109 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in slot 115 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 117, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A tidy bit of business in the 119th overall pick, where Tory Horton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 181st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
