Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. Nobody else had Shaun Dolac anywhere near Round 5, Pick 1. The Cardinals did, by 169 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than the 30th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 42nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A reach on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 64; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
They liked Jaylin Noel enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 85, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Nice patience on Andrew Mukuba, who had no business lasting to the 96th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Somehow Isaiah Bond was still sitting there in pick No. 97, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in No. 104, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at slot 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in Round 4, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 114th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in the 122nd pick, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Belton at pick 123 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 124 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in No. 126 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick128
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They let Billy Bowman Jr. come to them and pounced at the 128th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They jumped the gun on Jackson Slater, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They barely believed it either: Tory Horton still on the board at Round 4, Pick 30. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Lundt well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
A big swing on Shaun Dolac at the 140th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Alexander in pick No. 143. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
They went early on Ty Robinson in the 145th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
No edge and no loss on Bhayshul Tuten in slot 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
