Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Thomas Fidone II a full 215 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Horton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 49 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 78, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Nothing to complain about; Maxwell Hairston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the 87th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 88 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Phillips. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard at pick 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tai Felton
A tidy bit of business in slot 95, where Tai Felton graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Skattebo. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They did well to land Charles Grant in the 100th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They reached a country mile for Darius Alexander at Round 4, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm is a better player than the 106th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in No. 115 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 118th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at slot 121 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A tidy little value on Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They let Billy Bowman Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 24. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick127
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 127th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick 130 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
Value said wait; Ahmed Hassanein in pick No. 132 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in slot 133 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 135 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shaun Dolac in No. 137, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Thomas Fidone II
A big swing on Thomas Fidone II at Round 5, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
