Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Shaun Dolac at the Round 4 slot is 174 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They banked enough surplus on Lundt to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 30th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jihaad Campbell a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at Round 2, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
By-the-book stuff, Wyatt Milum at slot 38 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
A slide stopped in the 40th overall pick, with Colston Loveland worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Landon Jackson at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They talked themselves into Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayden Higgins this early at slot 44. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 50th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick53
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
Fair-plus on JT Tuimoloau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at No. 61 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in the 66th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 67 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick 68 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A real head-scratcher, Cam Skattebo in the 80th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
They will replay Jalen Royals at slot 84 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at Round 4, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in pick No. 120, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Logan Brown
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Brown. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 28 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They barely believed it either: Jordan Phillips still on the board at pick No. 133. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They paid sticker price for Rylie Mills in No. 134, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shaun Dolac well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach the 139th overall pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 180 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Chase Lundt
They robbed the room for Chase Lundt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in the 216th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at pick No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
