Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Keilan Robinson a full 165 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The Dixon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Dallas Turner
In the 3rd pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 8th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.

Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick 30 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 31st pick they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the 32nd overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They reached a country mile for Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in No. 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37
Rnd2
Laiatu Latu
Steal is underselling it; Laiatu Latu at slot 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 6, with Kool-Aid McKinstry worth more than the price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick39
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at No. 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the 43rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Corley a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick 46 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They did well to land Tyler Nubin in the 47th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They paid a round early for Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A wild overpay on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 50th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in the 52nd pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 56 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A reach on Cade Stover in Round 2, Pick 26; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Circle this one: Tyler Guyton at the 60th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 62 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in the 64th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in No. 66 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They will replay Troy Franklin at pick 67 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 68 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Fair-plus on Kamren Kinchens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Taking Zach Frazier in slot 88 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 89. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 27, where Max Melton graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick91
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Booker at the Round 3 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. slipping to pick No. 92 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 94th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in the 95th pick, and the value did not follow. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at slot 96 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Burton still on the board at No. 98. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 36. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick131
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They read the board right and Blake Fisher was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 132. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They talked themselves into Brandon Coleman at pick 134, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
The board had cheaper options than Jalyx Hunt at the 137th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Lee this early at Round 5, Pick 3. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Cowing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 142nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
A big swing on Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 143, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson

Pick146
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey

Pick148
Rnd5

Pick151

Pick152
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe

Pick153
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg

Pick154
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 154 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Brennan Jackson at the 155th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5

Pick157
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick160
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 160 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick161
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They paid up for Malik Mustapha at pick No. 161 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick162

Pick166

Jordan Travis

Pick183
Rnd6
Sam Hartman

Pick184
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at slot 184 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A reach for Steele Chambers in pick No. 185; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick204
