Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 117 spots for Keilan Robinson, and value like that does not grow back.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 6 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 7 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in No. 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 17th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 18 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick23
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braden Fiske in pick No. 24, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick28
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In slot 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ladd McConkey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick30
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the 30th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 32nd overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in slot 34 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.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 39: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They reached into another round for Ruke Orhorhoro, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in Round 2, Pick 9 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick42
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They talked themselves into Cade Stover at No. 43, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 46 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 47th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick48
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They paid a round early for Christian Haynes in pick No. 48, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They liked Patrick Paul enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 54. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in Round 2, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jared Verse
They robbed the room for Jared Verse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60
Rnd2
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 60th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick61
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A tidy little value on Xavier Worthy in pick 61, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at slot 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 65th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Taking Kris Jenkins in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Booker at pick No. 75, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in the 76th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javon Solomon this early at the 78th pick. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tyler Nubin in slot 81, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick86
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They read the board right and Sedrick Van Pran was the payoff at the 86th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A slide stopped in No. 89, with Brandon Dorlus worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at pick 91 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick93
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dallin Holker
They reached a country mile for Dallin Holker at pick 97, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
They barely believed it either: Kamren Kinchens still on the board at the 101st pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nice patience on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, who had no business lasting to the 103rd overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Value with a capital V on Jonah Elliss in Round 4, Pick 4, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in slot 105. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Gabriel Murphy at the 106th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in slot 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Nothing to complain about; Mekhi Wingo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A wild overpay on Trevor Keegan in pick 112, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 114th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at Round 4, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 116th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at No. 118. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason McCormick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in Round 4, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Delmar Glaze
A big swing on Delmar Glaze at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sione Vaki well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick126
Rnd4
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 126th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Circle this one: Jalen McMillan at pick No. 129 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
Audric Estime
The board fumbled Audric Estime all the way to pick 131, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in pick No. 132, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
They will replay Caelen Carson at the 133rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
You do not let a cornerback like Andru Phillips reach slot 134 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 135 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They let Beaux Limmer come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini

Pick138
Rnd5
Erick All
They reached into another round for Erick All, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Fair-plus on Beau Brade, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick141
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
A conviction pick on Justin Eboigbe at the 141st overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in Round 5, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
They went early on Jalyx Hunt in slot 143, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A reach on Brennan Jackson in No. 144; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5

Pick158
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg slid further than he should have, and No. 158 is lovely value for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
They reached a country mile for Nathaniel Watson at Round 5, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 162nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in pick 163, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick165

Pick169

Pick170
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 170th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
They barely believed it either: Jacob Cowing still on the board at No. 171. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Somehow Chau Smith-Wade was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden

Pick178

Pick182
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui

Pick185
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A big swing on JD Bertrand at No. 185, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6

Pick187
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser

Pick189
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha

Pick190
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keilan Robinson this early at the 193rd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial in the 194th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick195
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They paid up for Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick199
Rnd6

Rnd6

Pick203
Rnd6
Jordan Travis

Rnd6
Myles Cole

Rnd6

Pick216

Pick218
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams

Pick222
