Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Some picks age like wine; Tip Reiman at slot 41 will need to, sitting 128 spots clear of his grade.
Landing Allen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Quinyon Mitchell slipping to pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean

Pick26

Roman Wilson
In the 30th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in No. 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
JC Latham
They will replay JC Latham at pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 36 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick37
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick38
Rnd2
Max Melton
A real head-scratcher, Max Melton in Round 2, Pick 6 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick39
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 39th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tip Reiman
They reached into another round for Tip Reiman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 42nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They talked themselves into Trey Benson at the 43rd pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bo Nix at slot 44 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 45th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They paid up for Adisa Isaac at pick No. 46 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They did well to land Tyler Nubin in No. 47, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick48
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at pick 48, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
Somehow Taliese Fuaga was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jayden Daniels
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They jumped the gun on Austin Booker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
A wild overpay on Bralen Trice in pick No. 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 21, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Hall Jr. a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 58th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at No. 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They reached a country mile for Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 65th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick66
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Jones in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick67
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A big swing on Patrick Paul at the 67th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at pick 68 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at Round 3, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Christian Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Christian Jones well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
Circle this one: Troy Franklin at pick No. 75 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at the 77th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mohamed Kamara this early at pick No. 79. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in No. 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in pick 82, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A wild overpay on Gabriel Murphy in slot 83, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
Value said wait; Brennan Jackson in the 84th overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
