Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, 88 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The Travis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. 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. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.

Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 7 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.

Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 8th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 26 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the 29th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In the 31st pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at No. 33, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick34
Rnd2
Max Melton
They reached into another round for Max Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Junior Colson
They liked Junior Colson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 36th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 37th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ruke Orhorhoro this early at pick No. 38. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at slot 40, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 51st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Taking Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 52 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 53 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at pick 54, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Circle this one: Tyler Guyton at the 55th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They talked themselves into Marshawn Kneeland at No. 56, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A quiet steal in pick No. 60: Xavier Worthy for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in the 63rd pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 1. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They robbed the room for Troy Franklin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
You do not let an edge rusher like Kris Jenkins reach pick 67 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at slot 68 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
Good price on T'Vondre Sweat in the 69th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in pick 73 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 74th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A premium they did not need to pay, Bralen Trice a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kiran Amegadjie at No. 78 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 79 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
They went early on Roger Rosengarten in slot 80, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in pick 81, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick83
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 83 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick85
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 85th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A wild overpay on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in pick No. 88 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They will replay Ja'Lynn Polk at the 90th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Anthony Gould
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Anthony Gould well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 96th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They read the board right and Jonah Elliss was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at No. 99 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick 100 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Thomas in Round 4, Pick 1, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to the 104th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at pick No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at pick 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at the 107th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
No edge and no loss on Javon Solomon in pick No. 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 115th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Nice patience on Zak Zinter, who had no business lasting to No. 118. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at slot 120 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They jumped the gun on Isaac Guerendo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in slot 122; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKinnley Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson

Pick136
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick No. 136 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
The board had cheaper options than Beaux Limmer at pick 138, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 139 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Walter Rouse this early at pick 140. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They talked themselves into Delmar Glaze at slot 141, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tahj Washington in the 142nd overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at Round 5, Pick 10 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 148th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150
Rnd5
Myles Cole
By-the-book stuff, Myles Cole at pick No. 150 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at No. 152 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Value said wait; Nelson Ceaser in slot 158 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 25, with Trevin Wallace worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
James Williams
A reach on James Williams in the 162nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A real head-scratcher, Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 166th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 171 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.
Pick174
Rnd5
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at pick 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick176
Rnd6
Beau Brade
A tidy bit of business in No. 176, where Beau Brade graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They paid sticker price for Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
They let Tip Reiman come to them and pounced at slot 179. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
They paid up for Nathan Thomas at Round 6, Pick 5 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Javion Cohen

Pick183
Rnd6

Pick184
Rnd6

Pick185
Rnd6

Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They left a pile of value on the table to take JD Bertrand this early at slot 196. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197
Rnd6

Pick208
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the 208th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6

A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sataoa Laumea in No. 217, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 221 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trey Knox
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Knox. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at slot 225 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
A clean, defensible pick in No. 226 with a little surplus value in Jaylen Harrell. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the 231st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240

Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 240 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jordan Travis
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Travis at Round 7, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Evan Williams
The board fumbled Evan Williams all the way to pick No. 251, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They barely believed it either: Trey Taylor still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
A linebacker of that caliber at the 253rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
