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; Trey Knox at the 120th overall pick will need to, sitting 168 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
The Abrams-Draine pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. 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
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 4th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 5 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 6 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In slot 14 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 1 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick18
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In No. 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 19 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 20th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 21 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 24 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
In the 26th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Zach Frazier
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Sedrick Van Pran
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sedrick Van Pran this early at slot 28. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick29
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 29th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In No. 30 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick 32 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at slot 36, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37
Rnd2
Renardo Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Renardo Green. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 2, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick50
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Steal is underselling it; J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 50 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
They reached into another round for MarShawn Lloyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Value with a capital V on Ricky Pearsall in the 53rd overall pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They did well to land Malachi Corley in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They robbed the room for Brian Thomas Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than slot 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
The board fumbled Troy Fautanu all the way to pick No. 58, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the 59th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick60
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
They talked themselves into Roger Rosengarten at pick 60, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A big swing on Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 62nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 31: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
A real head-scratcher, Cole Bishop in the 64th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick66
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa slid further than he should have, and No. 66 is lovely value for the cornerback. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in pick 68 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.
Pick69
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
They read the board right and Chris Braswell was the payoff at pick No. 69. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Taking Xavier Legette in slot 70 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 71st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A conviction pick on Malik Washington at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
You do not let an edge rusher like Adisa Isaac reach pick 75 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They let Austin Booker come to them and pounced at the 76th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in No. 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A wild overpay on Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick No. 79 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Somehow Edgerrin Cooper was still sitting there in slot 81, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at Round 3, Pick 18. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in the 83rd overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 90 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Good price on Bralen Trice in pick No. 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at No. 93 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96
Rnd3
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 96th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in Round 3, Pick 34, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98
Rnd3
Delmar Glaze
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Delmar Glaze. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A reach on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 100 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick101
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They talked themselves into Dallin Holker at pick 101, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 102nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at slot 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in pick 107. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick No. 108 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113

Pick158
