Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Shaun Dolac, 183 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They banked enough surplus on Trapilo to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 23rd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Good price on Kenneth Grant in No. 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick27 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick No. 32 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34 Rnd2 Mike Green
Fair-plus on Mike Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 45 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They reached a country mile for Maxwell Hairston at No. 46, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 53rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at slot 55 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 56th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick No. 57 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart slid further than he should have, and the 60th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in pick No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 80th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at No. 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 89 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rylie Mills. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Nothing to complain about; Tai Felton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Belton at the 111th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy little value on Billy Bowman Jr. in the 117th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick122 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 4, Pick 20, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Value said wait; Kaimon Rucker in pick 123 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 124, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
The board fumbled Ozzy Trapilo all the way to slot 126, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They let Emery Jones Jr. come to them and pounced at the 129th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Brown a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
No drama and no debate, Aeneas Peebles went about where he belonged in the 136th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A reach for Nick Nash in No. 137; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They jumped the gun on O'Donnell Fortune, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick142 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid up for Bhayshul Tuten at pick 142 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A big swing on Kyle Williams at the 144th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at Round 5, Pick 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
