Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Decamerion Richardson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 95 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
On value alone, Nubin makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 9th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 18th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick21
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In pick 21 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at the 23rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick24
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 24 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the 26th pick they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in slot 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick28
Rnd1
Roger Rosengarten
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick31
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at slot 33 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 34th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They read the board right and J.J. McCarthy was the payoff at No. 35. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick No. 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They reached a country mile for Trey Benson at the 37th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Steal is underselling it; Byron Murphy II at slot 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ruke Orhorhoro. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A quiet steal in pick 40: Chop Robinson for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A wild overpay on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They talked themselves into Austin Booker at No. 42, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 44 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 46th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at No. 47. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 48th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Taliese Fuaga in slot 55, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the 56th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slipping to pick 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
The board fumbled Ennis Rakestraw Jr. all the way to pick No. 67, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 70, where Xavier Legette graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 71st overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Value said wait; Javon Solomon in Round 3, Pick 12 says they were not listening. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 77th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They paid sticker price for Brandon Dorlus in slot 78, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Decamerion Richardson in pick 79, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
A big swing on Cedric Gray at the 90th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 92 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
Circle this one: Tyler Nubin at slot 99 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick100
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James in pick No. 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at Round 4, Pick 7. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamren Kinchens at the Round 4 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in the 110th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick113
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A clean, defensible pick in slot 113 with a little surplus value in Matt Goncalves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 115 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.
Pick116
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gabriel Murphy in the 116th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 22, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to pick 126. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
You do not let a cornerback like Caelen Carson reach No. 130 and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick131
Rnd4
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in pick No. 131 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
They paid a round early for Jamari Thrash in the 136th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
The board had cheaper options than Trevin Wallace at the 138th pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
A big swing on Cedric Johnson at slot 140, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in Round 5, Pick 6 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 143 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edefuan Ulofoshio this early at the 146th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They talked themselves into Grayson Murphy at the 147th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Will Shipley
They will replay Will Shipley at pick 148 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Somehow Tyrone Tracy Jr. was still sitting there in No. 152, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Value with a capital V on Ainias Smith in Round 5, Pick 18, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
A slide stopped in pick 158, with Beaux Limmer worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick No. 159 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 162 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick165
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in the 165th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
They robbed the room for Jalyx Hunt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole is a better player than slot 168 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
A reach for Tahj Washington in the 169th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A wild overpay on Cody Schrader in the 175th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Beau Brade
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 181 is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 6, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick184
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JD Bertrand. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Circle this one: Walter Rouse at the 185th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
A conviction pick on Delmar Glaze at pick No. 186 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 187th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 6, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 189 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sione Vaki at the Round 6 slot is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than slot 193, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in No. 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Value said wait; Keilan Robinson in slot 197 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 23 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They reached a country mile for Eric Watts at pick No. 200, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
They talked themselves into Myles Murphy at pick 203, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
They liked Darius Muasau enough to skip the value, taking him in the 207th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6

This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Barrett in the 211th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jaylin Simpson in the 213th overall pick, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in Round 6, Pick 40 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Taking Fabien Lovett in pick 216 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Dominique Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Dominique Hampton at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Somehow Curtis Jacobs was still sitting there in pick No. 218, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kalen King
A cornerback of that caliber at the 222nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226
Rnd7
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in No. 228 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234
Rnd7
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They will replay Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 7, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Evan Williams
A tidy little value on Evan Williams in slot 238, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245
Rnd7

Pick250
