Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals did not so much draft Jawhar Jordan as overpay for him, 121 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Tyreek Hill leading the way.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 5 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 6th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the 8th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 19 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In slot 21 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 23rd overall pick 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.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick 27 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 30th overall pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricky Pearsall this early at pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
By-the-book stuff, Ladd McConkey at Round 2, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A conviction pick on Roman Wilson at slot 35 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They reached a country mile for Christian Haynes at the 36th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A real head-scratcher, Cade Stover in the 38th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
The board had J.J. McCarthy higher than Round 2, Pick 8, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at pick No. 43 is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A reach for Xavier Worthy in the 44th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 59th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 61 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They read the board right and Junior Colson was the payoff at pick 68. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in slot 72, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 76th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick 78 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They paid a round early for MarShawn Lloyd in the 80th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at pick 88, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at slot 90 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They liked Mekhi Wingo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 91. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 96th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 34 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Burton still on the board at the 99th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
You do not let a cornerback like Max Melton reach No. 100 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in pick 103, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
They reached into another round for Beau Brade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Value said wait; Chau Smith-Wade in Round 4, Pick 6 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sione Vaki well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at the 108th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in No. 109, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Lee this early at pick No. 111. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to slot 115. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
They will replay Calen Bullock at pick No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 118 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No edge and no loss on McKinnley Jackson in the 120th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 122nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 26 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A quiet steal in No. 129: Theo Johnson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Value with a capital V on Javon Solomon in the 130th pick, a genuine coup. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at slot 132, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at No. 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in pick 138 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash slipping to Round 5, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
They paid sticker price for Jacob Cowing in pick No. 140, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value said wait; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They reached into another round for Tahj Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Andru Phillips in the 143rd overall pick, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in Round 5, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slid further than he should have, and pick No. 146 is lovely value for the cornerback. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 149 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.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in No. 152. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick 157 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
They talked themselves into Frank Gore Jr. at the 158th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallin Holker at the 159th overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 161 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 164th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in pick 166, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in slot 177, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A straight-up fair deal on Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in No. 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at Round 6, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick 183 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 184 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
They reached a country mile for Andrew Coker at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They jumped the gun on Caedan Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
The board fumbled Malik Mustapha all the way to the 194th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in pick 200 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick No. 212 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 218th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at slot 221 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A big swing on Jowon Briggs at the 222nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Magee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in No. 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
They went early on Andrew Raym in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
They robbed the room for Ryan Flournoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at slot 237 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to the 239th pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
They robbed the room for Kendall Milton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at pick No. 242 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 251st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Steal is underselling it; Trey Knox at pick No. 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 33, with Tarheeb Still worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
