Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
A-

FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Shaun Dolac, taking him 147 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Dalton Kincaid chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, with Landon Jackson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In the 16th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
They went early on Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 44, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 47 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
They reached a country mile for Ozzy Trapilo at No. 49, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in No. 51, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at slot 52 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the 76th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 78 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
A quiet steal in the 88th overall pick: Elijah Arroyo for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Nice patience on Tez Johnson, who had no business lasting to the 105th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Savion Williams
The board had Savion Williams higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at Round 4, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 109 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in pick No. 110, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 114 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at the 116th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to No. 121, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jack Nelson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Nelson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick 126, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
By-the-book stuff, Rylie Mills at the 138th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at pick No. 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 142 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the 143rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick145
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in the 145th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy slipping to pick No. 146 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 147. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jahvaree Ritzie
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jahvaree Ritzie. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 15. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A reach for RJ Harvey in pick 153; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
