Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cody Schrader pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 96 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Rattler pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 5th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick No. 7 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dallas Turner in No. 18. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick19
Rnd1
JC Latham
They did well to land JC Latham in slot 19, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick20
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 24th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In pick No. 26 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the 30th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In slot 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 2, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Trey Benson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in No. 35, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36
Rnd2
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Byron Murphy II reach pick No. 37 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A slide stopped in the 38th pick, with J.J. McCarthy worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 39th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good price on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 43rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in slot 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 48 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 49, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A premium they did not need to pay, T'Vondre Sweat a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in the 51st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 52 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Max Melton
A reach for Max Melton in Round 2, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They paid up for Renardo Green at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at the 63rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Paul this early at pick 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in slot 67, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 68th 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.
Pick69
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in pick No. 70, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at slot 75, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 77 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to No. 78 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
They barely believed it either: Jordan Morgan still on the board at pick 80. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to the 81st pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
They liked Brandon Coleman enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 86. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Adams at pick No. 88, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A tidy bit of business in the 92nd overall pick, where Brandon Dorlus graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They will replay Junior Colson at No. 93 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 94, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 3, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick98
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Nothing to complain about; Cole Bishop went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick99
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in the 99th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They went early on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick No. 100, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Steal is underselling it; Cade Stover at pick 101 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in No. 103 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They robbed the room for Malik Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 105th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick No. 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in pick 107, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at slot 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 9 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
They talked themselves into Decamerion Richardson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick112
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
They reached into another round for Sione Vaki, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tip Reiman
A big swing on Tip Reiman at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They paid a round early for Javon Foster in slot 115, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
No drama and no debate, Jalyx Hunt went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 22. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 123rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 124 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 125th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in slot 126 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
Circle this one: MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 127 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Cowing at the 128th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 129 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Myles Cole
They reached into another round for Myles Cole, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 31. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 132nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Walter Rouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Walter Rouse well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in pick No. 137 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nathan Thomas in slot 138, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 139th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 140 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Value said wait; Nathaniel Watson in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at Round 5, Pick 6, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 143rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick146
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They talked themselves into AJ Barner at No. 146, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
A real head-scratcher, Javion Cohen in pick No. 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
A reach on McKinnley Jackson in the 149th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo slid further than he should have, and slot 151 is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kamren Kinchens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamren Kinchens in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick154
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They will replay Johnny Wilson at pick 154 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
Taking Jalen McMillan in No. 157 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 161st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162

Spencer Rattler
They barely believed it either: Spencer Rattler still on the board at the 165th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166
Rnd5
Audric Estime
Steal is underselling it; Audric Estime at slot 166 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Erick All
Somehow Erick All was still sitting there in pick No. 167, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Circle this one: Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173
Rnd5

Pick177

Pick191
Rnd6

A conviction pick on Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 196 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Watts this early at pick No. 197. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 208 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at the 210th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They paid sticker price for JD Bertrand in the 218th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 221 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk in the 222nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 223 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at No. 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at slot 228 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A big swing on Jowon Briggs at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick 234 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keilan Robinson in No. 242, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Sirmon. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in slot 251 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
No drama and no debate, Matthew Jones went about where he belonged in the 252nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker in Round 7, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
