Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Keilan Robinson, 159 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick No. 5 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 10th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick11
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 11 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
They took Dallas Turner at par in the 12th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick26
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick28
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In pick No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 29th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Junior Colson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a three-down second-level presence, reach and all.
Pick31
Rnd1
Edgerrin Cooper
In pick 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
A clean, defensible pick in No. 32 with a little surplus value in Ladd McConkey. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at slot 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
