Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Shaun Dolac at pick 123. The Cardinals jumped the board by 215 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Germaine Pratt leading the way.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at the 36th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 6 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Circle this one: Mykel Williams at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 41 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid up for Jayden Higgins at pick 46 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 53 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Steal is underselling it; Jaxson Dart at the 57th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 65 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 79th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in pick 82, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in the 89th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They liked Tai Felton enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 95th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick96 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
A reach on Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 96; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No drama and no debate, Tory Horton went about where he belonged in pick No. 107. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at No. 119, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in the 121st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
They let Xavier Restrepo come to them and pounced at pick No. 122. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
They reached into another round for Shaun Dolac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
