Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Akheem Mesidor a full 134 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+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Castro. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The veteran additions, Trevor Lawrence chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In slot 22 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
They went early on Tyler Booker in the 25th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick26
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In the 27th pick they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ashton Gillotte
In pick No. 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They jumped the gun on Tyler Warren, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 33rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
They paid sticker price for Josaiah Stewart in the 36th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
No edge and no loss on Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at No. 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42
Rnd2
Deone Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Deone Walker well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A wild overpay on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They paid up for Trey Amos at pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 47 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.
Pick49
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 49th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 51st overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at slot 53 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 56th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 67 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
A reach for Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 68; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at No. 70. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
They read the board right and Marcus Mbow was the payoff at the 73rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
A big swing on Luke Kandra at Round 3, Pick 14, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach slot 79 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
A conviction pick on Ajani Cornelius at No. 88 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
A real head-scratcher, Jaxson Dart in pick No. 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 3, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at pick 102 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in the 105th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at the 107th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Good price on Savion Williams in the 113th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kyren Lacy
A straight-up fair deal on Kyren Lacy at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
Taking Maxwell Hairston in pick 118 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick121
Rnd4
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at No. 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 124 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick125
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
By-the-book stuff, Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 125 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd5
Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick140
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
A reach on Howard Cross III in slot 140; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 141st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146
Rnd5
Connor Colby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Connor Colby in pick 146, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
They talked themselves into Seth McLaughlin at Round 5, Pick 14, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They reached a country mile for Jonah Monheim at the 157th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in No. 163 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They paid a round early for Nazir Stackhouse in No. 167, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Theo Wease Jr. at the 176th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Briningstool. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at pick No. 180 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick 188 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190
Rnd6
Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at No. 194 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198
Rnd6
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 198th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick203
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in pick 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 208th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in slot 214. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Micah Morris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Micah Morris. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in pick 239, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben in the 256th pick 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.
