Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Trey Knox in the Round 4 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
Landing Morgan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallas Turner. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick16
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 18 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
No drama and no debate, Cooper DeJean went about where he belonged in pick No. 19. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 20 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
A reach for Braden Fiske in Round 1, Pick 24; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick25
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick 25 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 26th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the 30th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In the 31st pick they get a seam-stretching tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 33rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick34
Rnd2
Cade Stover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Stover. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They reached a country mile for Christian Haynes at No. 35, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at Round 2, Pick 6 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at No. 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in slot 40, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in the 42nd overall pick, where Adonai Mitchell graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Legette a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Taking J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 46 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They will replay Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 15 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the 48th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at the 51st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A reach on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 52; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Nothing to complain about; Kris Jenkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 55 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at the 56th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at No. 57, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in Round 2, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They paid a round early for Austin Booker in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 60 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They robbed the room for Kool-Aid McKinstry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 63 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick64
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Somehow Junior Colson was still sitting there in the 64th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in pick No. 65, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They jumped the gun on Brandon Dorlus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
A big swing on Jonah Elliss at Round 3, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They liked Dadrion Taylor-Demerson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They reached into another round for Cole Bishop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
Value said wait; Tip Reiman in No. 71 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in the 72nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at the 73rd pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They let Ja'Lynn Polk come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 76th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in Round 3, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick No. 85 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 86 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
You do not let a tight end like Ja'Tavion Sanders reach slot 90 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The board fumbled Javon Bullard all the way to the 91st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick92
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 92nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in pick No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 95 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at Round 3, Pick 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
The board had cheaper options than DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 37, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brennan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in pick No. 103 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.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in slot 104, and that is fine. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 105 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They talked themselves into Tommy Eichenberg at pick 106, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at the 107th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the 108th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They took Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at par in the 109th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick110
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A wild overpay on Elijah Jones in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
Steal is underselling it; Sedrick Van Pran at No. 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in slot 113, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
They reached into another round for Marist Liufau, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at Round 4, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They barely believed it either: MarShawn Lloyd still on the board at pick No. 119. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 120th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart slipping to pick No. 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick126
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: McKinnley Jackson in pick 126, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 127 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at the 130th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at Round 4, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 135th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
The board had Jacob Cowing higher than the 137th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in slot 138 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
