Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
Dart is the Cardinals' new face under center. Grade: B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Shaun Dolac, 239 picks ahead of schedule.
Restrepo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Everything downstream of Jaxson Dart depends on Jaxson Dart, and the building knows it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In No. 5 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick7
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 7th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In the 12th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In slot 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
By-the-book stuff, Jalon Walker at pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick18
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick No. 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick19
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In slot 20 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In No. 22 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
They paid a round early for Tyler Booker in the 23rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick24
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Value said wait; Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 24th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick26
Rnd1
Shemar Turner
In pick 26 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick No. 27 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick29
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick30
Rnd1
Darien Porter
In pick 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick31
Rnd1
Elic Ayomanor
A real head-scratcher, Elic Ayomanor in Round 1, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jayden Higgins
In the 32nd pick they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and No. 34 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at the 36th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Derrick Harmon. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
They talked themselves into Carson Schwesinger at Round 2, Pick 14, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maxwell Hairston in No. 47, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A big swing on Tate Ratledge at the 49th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Skattebo well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Princely Umanmielen graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in No. 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 57 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
A wild overpay on Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 65, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than the 67th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 68th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 69 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Shaun Dolac
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shaun Dolac. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 9. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
Nothing to complain about; Kyle Kennard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 78, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Fair-plus on Jared Ivey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
They reached into another round for Jordan Phillips, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at the 86th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in the 88th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 90th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 3, Pick 35 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jermari Harris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jermari Harris well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jabbar Muhammad in pick No. 106, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick107
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at No. 107, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at slot 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick115
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
They barely believed it either: Zy Alexander still on the board at Round 4, Pick 13. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick118
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick120
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 120th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 124 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jaylin Noel in the 126th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Circle this one: Ozzy Trapilo at pick 127 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
They talked themselves into Thomas Fidone II at slot 213, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 39 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
