Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a C+. Some picks age like wine; Shaun Dolac at the 137th overall pick will need to, sitting 202 spots clear of his grade.
Landing Starks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
So much rides on Kelvin Banks Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mike Green
They did well to land Mike Green in the 32nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
A tidy little value on Nic Scourton in the 33rd pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick35
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39
Rnd2
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick 39 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at No. 42 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 48 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Sanders at slot 57. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
A reach on Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 60; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in the 65th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Billy Bowman Jr. in the 66th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at slot 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at the 92nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at pick 95 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick100
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Nothing to complain about; Tai Felton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kyle Kennard
Circle this one: Kyle Kennard at pick No. 110 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 115th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A slide stopped in No. 120, with Jordan Phillips worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A conviction pick on Rylie Mills at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 29 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at slot 132, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They liked Aeneas Peebles enough to skip the value, taking him in the 133rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach pick 134 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick135
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at No. 135 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 136, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 137th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
They paid a round early for Kaimon Rucker in slot 138, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Nick Nash
They paid up for Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 140 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 141st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
