Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 215 picks early on Shaun Dolac, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Warren falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In slot 16 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Armand Membou
Fair-plus on Armand Membou, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick20
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 20 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
T.J. Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In slot 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 33rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick35
Rnd2
Mike Green
Mike Green at pick No. 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
They took Jaxson Dart at par in pick 36, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 44th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Value said wait; Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 13 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
They liked Jack Sawyer enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 2, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than the 65th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
No edge and no loss on Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tai Felton
A conviction pick on Tai Felton at pick 89 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tory Horton
They paid a round early for Tory Horton in No. 94, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at slot 103, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in the 112th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at No. 122, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
