Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

TradesF
FutureC-
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-. The Cardinals did not so much draft Shaun Dolac as overpay for him, 124 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.
The Harris pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Hit on Shemar Stewart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 27th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In pick 32 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A straight-up fair deal on JT Tuimoloau at slot 48, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in the 86th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 95th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 116 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at Round 4, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at pick 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 122, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at slot 123 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 126th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 128 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 132nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 33, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
A wild overpay on Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 155th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at slot 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at pick 160 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A reach for RJ Harvey in the 161st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim slipping to No. 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167
Rnd5
Tai Felton
Tai Felton in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Williams in Round 5, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the 183rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson is a better player than pick 185 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jackson Slater
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 192 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the 195th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
