Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Shaun Dolac; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 179 spots ahead at the Round 5 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
However the rest shakes out, Bowman Jr. at that price is a win they earned. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 25 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In No. 26 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They went early on Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 39th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at slot 61, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at pick 65 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 66th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jackson Slater
Value said wait; Jackson Slater in slot 74 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 76th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Nice patience on Tre Harris, who had no business lasting to No. 77. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Darius Alexander reach pick No. 115 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
They reached a country mile for Bhayshul Tuten at slot 119, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 139th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
They paid sticker price for Mitchell Evans in pick No. 142, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jamaree Caldwell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamaree Caldwell in the 144th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in No. 160 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in pick No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
