Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Jawhar Jordan. He came off 121 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 8 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 19 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 24 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 28th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Maason Smith
In pick No. 29 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In No. 30 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 31st pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 1 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 33rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Roman Wilson at Round 2, Pick 3, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They reached into another round for Christian Haynes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Value said wait; Cade Stover in No. 38 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 2, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Terrion Arnold in the 43rd overall pick, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They jumped the gun on Xavier Worthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
This one needs a full-page explanation: Patrick Paul in pick No. 45, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 47, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in pick No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Legette reach the 59th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Circle this one: Tyler Nubin at pick 61 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A slide stopped in the 68th overall pick, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in Round 3, Pick 5. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at slot 71, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at pick 75 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They paid a round early for Malik Washington in the 78th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 3, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They liked MarShawn Lloyd enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 80. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at the 81st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mohamed Kamara at slot 96, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 97th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
The board fumbled Jermaine Burton all the way to the 99th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in pick 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at pick No. 101 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A wild overpay on Cody Schrader in No. 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
A real head-scratcher, Beau Brade in slot 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the 106th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick No. 107 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at pick 108, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They talked themselves into Gabe Hall at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Lee this early at Round 4, Pick 11. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
Steal is underselling it; Kamren Kinchens at the 113th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick115
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Mahogany in slot 115. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at No. 117 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
They took McKinnley Jackson at par in pick No. 120, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Nice patience on Leonard Taylor III, who had no business lasting to pick 121. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in the 122nd 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.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 126th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Theo Johnson graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They let Javon Solomon come to them and pounced at pick No. 130. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A reach on Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 32; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
A big swing on Dylan Laube at No. 138, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash slipping to the 139th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
No drama and no debate, Jacob Cowing went about where he belonged in pick 140. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 141st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tahj Washington in slot 142, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
They robbed the room for Andru Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 5, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in No. 146 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in pick 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Davis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at slot 158, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Value with a capital V on Trevor Keegan in slot 161, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at the 164th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at pick No. 166 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in Round 6, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 181 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in the 182nd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 184 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at pick 192 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 18 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Somehow Malik Mustapha was still sitting there in the 194th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 197 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Erick All
A straight-up fair deal on Erick All at pick No. 200, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at slot 218 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 221st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Value said wait; Jowon Briggs in pick 222 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
A tidy little value on Jordan Magee in the 225th pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathan Thomas. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
They went early on Andrew Raym in No. 227, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They talked themselves into Decamerion Richardson at the 228th pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
They will replay Jha'Quan Jackson at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at pick 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at No. 239 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in Round 7, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in slot 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at pick No. 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Taking Trey Knox in pick No. 252 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Tarheeb Still for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
