Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Jawhar Jordan pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 121 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick No. 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 7th pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 19 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 20th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at Round 1, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braden Fiske well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In slot 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In the 29th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick 30 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malachi Corley. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at slot 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They paid up for Roman Wilson at the 35th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A real head-scratcher, Christian Haynes in pick No. 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at Round 2, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A big swing on Cade Stover at pick No. 38, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Value with a capital V on J.J. McCarthy in the 40th overall pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 43rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A conviction pick on Xavier Worthy at No. 44 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A wild overpay on Patrick Paul in slot 45, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 47 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in slot 48. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Steal is underselling it; Amarius Mims at the 58th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 59th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tyler Nubin in pick No. 61, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A quiet steal in No. 68: Junior Colson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A tidy little value on Zach Frazier in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 72 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.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A reach on Malik Washington in the 78th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in Round 3, Pick 15 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A premium they did not need to pay, MarShawn Lloyd a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at the 81st pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 86, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They liked DeWayne Carter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 90th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 96th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They robbed the room for Sedrick Van Pran here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Taking Jermaine Burton in slot 99 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at Round 3, Pick 37 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 101 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 103 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They reached into another round for Beau Brade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 106 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sione Vaki in Round 4, Pick 7, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in the 108th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the 111th pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in pick No. 113, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 115 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in slot 117 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter is a better player than No. 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
By-the-book stuff, McKinnley Jackson at the 120th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A tidy bit of business in pick 121, where Leonard Taylor III graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in Round 4, Pick 22 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.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
The board had Theo Johnson higher than the 129th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They read the board right and Javon Solomon was the payoff at pick 130. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in the 132nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in slot 137 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
A wild overpay on Dylan Laube in No. 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 3. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 140th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick No. 142 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to the 143rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the 145th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 10. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
You do not let an offensive lineman like Sataoa Laumea reach No. 149 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
They took Isaiah Davis at par in slot 152, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 157 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at pick 158, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker slid further than he should have, and the 159th pick is lovely value for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick No. 161 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at Round 6, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
No edge and no loss on Tanor Bortolini in pick 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 181st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in No. 182, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A reach for Justin Rogers in the 183rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at pick No. 184. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
This one needs a full-page explanation: Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 187, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Coker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They jumped the gun on Caedan Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 194th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 212th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at slot 218 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in the 221st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 225 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
They paid a round early for Andrew Raym in pick 227, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
A big swing on Decamerion Richardson at the 228th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Jha'Quan Jackson still on the board at No. 231. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
They will replay Ryan Flournoy at pick 236 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A wild overpay on Keilan Robinson in Round 7, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in the 239th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
Somehow Kendall Milton was still sitting there in slot 240, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
You do not let a running back like Rasheen Ali reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick No. 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Trey Knox in the 252nd overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at No. 253 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
