Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureD
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Kimani Vidal went at pick 162, a good 91 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
The board had Dallas Turner higher than pick 28, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick29
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 29 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 40th overall pick, where Jackson Powers-Johnson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 49 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in slot 51 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 66th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in No. 71 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 86th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 87th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in slot 89 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in pick No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The board fumbled Javon Bullard all the way to Round 3, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 114th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at No. 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick119
Rnd4
Trey Benson
They robbed the room for Trey Benson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Cowing in pick No. 120, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 29: Blake Fisher for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 138th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Guerendo in pick 142. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
They will replay Caelen Carson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick148
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A reach on Sione Vaki in slot 148; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A reach for Nelson Ceaser in pick 150; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They reached a country mile for Jordan Travis at slot 151, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JD Bertrand well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153
Rnd5
Eric Watts
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in the 153rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 154 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick158
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They paid up for Cody Schrader at the 158th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jha'Quan Jackson a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
A wild overpay on Tahj Washington in the 165th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Steal is underselling it; Javon Foster at pick 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in the 172nd pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at slot 174 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd6
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 178 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Taking Marist Liufau in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at pick 186. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 187 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jawhar Jordan this early at the 196th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Fair-plus on Myles Cole, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Erick All
No drama and no debate, Erick All went about where he belonged in the 202nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They liked Gabe Hall enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 209. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at the 212th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at No. 213 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 217, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial in pick No. 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
They paid sticker price for Jaden Crumedy in Round 7, Pick 6, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They let Nathaniel Watson come to them and pounced at the 227th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A big swing on Keilan Robinson at pick No. 233, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 236, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 240th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 252nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
