Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesF
FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a D-. Some picks age like wine; Shaun Dolac at pick 147 will need to, sitting 155 spots clear of his grade. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
Ewers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 35th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
They liked JT Tuimoloau enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
They let T.J. Sanders come to them and pounced at slot 51. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A reach on Tate Ratledge in pick 58; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 66th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
No drama and no debate, Maxwell Hairston went about where he belonged in No. 78. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Burch at the 97th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in slot 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 104th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A quiet steal in pick No. 108: Savion Williams for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in Round 4, Pick 13 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121
Rnd4
Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at No. 121. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 127. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at No. 129, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
A wild overpay on Jabbar Muhammad in pick No. 132, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick133
Rnd4
Ashton Gillotte
You do not let an edge rusher like Ashton Gillotte reach the 133rd overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at the 134th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick136
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Shemar Turner graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Williams in slot 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Somehow Ajani Cornelius was still sitting there in No. 140, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the 141st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
David Walker
David Walker at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Value said wait; Shaun Dolac in the 147th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in Round 5, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
They jumped the gun on Bhayshul Tuten, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tory Horton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tory Horton in pick No. 153, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rylie Mills at slot 154 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155
Rnd5
CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 156th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick158
Rnd5
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oluwafemi Oladejo this early at the 158th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cam Horsley
They reached a country mile for Cam Horsley at pick 160, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to slot 161, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Taking Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in Round 5, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ricky White III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ricky White III well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
They paid sticker price for Tyler Cooper in slot 167, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 168th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Connor Colby
A reach for Connor Colby in No. 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
They robbed the room for O'Donnell Fortune here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick172
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in pick No. 172, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
They reached into another round for Jonas Sanker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 5, Pick 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick176
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in pick No. 176, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178
Rnd5
Quinn Ewers
Circle this one: Quinn Ewers at No. 178 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179
Rnd6
Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at slot 179, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 181st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at pick 182, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Quinn Carroll
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quinn Carroll this early at the 183rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
