Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the 122nd overall pick on Shaun Dolac, a name the board had a full 216 spots lower.
The Starks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick No. 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Campbell
A slide stopped in No. 22, with Will Campbell worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick24
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick 24 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in slot 33. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They reached into another round for Donovan Ezeiruaku, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Steal is underselling it; Matthew Golden at pick No. 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 64th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick65
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
The board fumbled T.J. Sanders all the way to No. 65, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They reached a country mile for Cam Skattebo at pick 67, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in slot 68 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
The board had cheaper options than Shemar Turner at Round 3, Pick 5, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They will replay Jayden Higgins at the 79th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Value with a capital V on Elijah Arroyo in No. 84, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slid further than he should have, and slot 95 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 96th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 115 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 119th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A real head-scratcher, Willie Lampkin in pick No. 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
