Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Chico Bennett Jr., taking him 331 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Bryant pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 1 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 3, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A wild overpay on Denzel Burke in pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cobee Bryant
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 4: Cobee Bryant adds a cornerback while running back keeps waiting.
Pick37 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A conviction pick on Isaiah Bond at pick No. 37 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They liked Harold Fannin Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 38th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 65 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in the 68th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Donovan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jimmy Horn Jr. this early at Round 4, Pick 3. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Value with a capital V on Malachi Moore in pick No. 105, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick140 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at pick 140 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chico Bennett Jr.
They reached into another round for Chico Bennett Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mario Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mario Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jeff Sims
They reached a country mile for Jeff Sims at No. 178, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 PJ Williams
Value said wait; PJ Williams in the 180th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at Round 6, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at the 199th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in the 219th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Colbie Young
They talked themselves into Colbie Young at slot 220, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fred Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fred Davis well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Karon Prunty
Karon Prunty at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick254 Rnd7 Mose Vavao
They talked themselves into Mose Vavao at No. 254, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trikweze Bridges
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trikweze Bridges well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick256 Rnd7 R.J. Moten
A big swing on R.J. Moten at the 256th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
