Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Jawhar Jordan selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 131 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is King. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 5 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 6 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No edge and no loss on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 14th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 15th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 16th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 20 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the 23rd pick they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick25
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In slot 26 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Patrick Paul
In pick No. 28 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In No. 29 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In the 31st pick they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In pick No. 32 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They paid a round early for Keon Coleman in the 37th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in slot 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
They jumped the gun on Javon Bullard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They talked themselves into Renardo Green at the 43rd pick, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick No. 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take MarShawn Lloyd this early at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 47 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malik Washington
They reached into another round for Malik Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 23. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in pick 57, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick59
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Taking J.J. McCarthy in the 59th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 61 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 2, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at slot 64 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A real head-scratcher, Decamerion Richardson in No. 66 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick67
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at pick 67 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 69, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at Round 3, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slid further than he should have, and No. 72 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick77
Rnd3
Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the 77th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 78. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They went early on Jonah Elliss in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at slot 80 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They let Austin Booker come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 17. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
Value said wait; DeWayne Carter in No. 82 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabriel Murphy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick 92 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 94 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
They barely believed it either: Calen Bullock still on the board at slot 118. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick120
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 120th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in slot 123, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 128th overall pick 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.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They liked Isaac Guerendo enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 30. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at pick No. 132, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 133rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.

Nathan Thomas

Kimani Vidal at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5

Pick144
Rnd5
Logan Lee

Pick146
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in slot 146 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Eric Watts

Pick163
Rnd5
Sione Vaki

Beau Brade
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Beau Brade in pick No. 201, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202
Rnd6

A cornerback of that caliber at No. 202 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
