Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
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, 215 picks ahead of schedule.
Everything downstream of Jaxson Dart depends on Jaxson Dart, and the building knows it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mukuba.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 19th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 21 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick 22 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 23rd pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In slot 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In pick 25 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They reached a country mile for Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 1, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Emmanwori in the 34th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick35
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Value with a capital V on Colston Loveland in the 35th overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Ezeiruaku well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A tidy little value on Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 42 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 65 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick67
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
They read the board right and Bradyn Swinson was the payoff at pick 67. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in No. 68. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the 79th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Value said wait; Cam Skattebo in the 80th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in slot 82; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Tai Felton
They went early on Tai Felton in Round 3, Pick 24, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
They reached into another round for Anthony Belton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 90 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
David Walker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on David Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 117th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Fairchild at slot 118. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in the 122nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
The board had cheaper options than Rylie Mills at the 124th pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at Round 4, Pick 23 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at No. 126, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in slot 129, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
