Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 4, Pick 31 on Jawhar Jordan a full 144 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Franklin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marvin Harrison Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
They paid sticker price for Brock Bowers in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick7
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in the 8th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 10th overall pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in the 11th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick12
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 19 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick20
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 20 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 21st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 22 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the 26th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In slot 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick28
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In pick 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In pick No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 32nd overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A real head-scratcher, T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They reached into another round for Michael Hall Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick35
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in No. 36 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.
Pick37
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at slot 37. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Taking Terrion Arnold in pick No. 39 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick40
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Value with a capital V on Amarius Mims in the 40th overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in the 41st overall pick, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 42 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick46
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick47
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick48
Rnd2
Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A quiet steal in No. 49: Tyler Nubin for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick51
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A big swing on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 2, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 52nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick53
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 53. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 22. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in the 58th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They talked themselves into Cade Stover at pick No. 59, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in the 63rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
They did well to land Jaylen Wright in the 66th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 67th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in No. 68. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick71
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in slot 71 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They paid up for Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 72 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They reached a country mile for DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 10, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Value said wait; Tyler Davis in pick No. 77 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
The board had Ja'Lynn Polk higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 79 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 82nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Somehow Junior Colson was still sitting there in pick 83, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 20, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in the 88th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick90
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They barely believed it either: Troy Franklin still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They will replay Xavier Worthy at the 92nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 93 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They read the board right and Dominick Puni was the payoff at pick 98. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
A big swing on Decamerion Richardson at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick100
Rnd3
Beau Brade
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beau Brade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 4, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick103
Rnd4
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 103 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Brandon Coleman in the 104th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
By-the-book stuff, Javon Solomon at the 105th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached into another round for Tommy Eichenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Brennan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A wild overpay on Jalyx Hunt in the 109th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at Round 4, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke McCaffrey this early at pick 111. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They went early on Jacob Cowing in pick No. 112, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
The board fumbled Sedrick Van Pran all the way to No. 123, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at slot 124 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
