Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent the Round 6 slot on Andrew Coker, a name most had 102 spots down the list.
They banked enough surplus on Baker to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Melton is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Value with a capital V on Chop Robinson in the 35th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in pick No. 39, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Nice patience on Brian Thomas Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 51, where Ennis Rakestraw Jr. graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Steal is underselling it; Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 62 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 65th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They did well to land Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They jumped the gun on Marshawn Kneeland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They went early on Renardo Green in the 71st pick, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A big swing on Mekhi Wingo at No. 80, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Max Melton
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Max Melton in pick No. 83 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A conviction pick on Malik Washington at the 87th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at the 88th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A want over a need in slot 93: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick101
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Taking Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They read the board right and Gabriel Murphy was the payoff at the 104th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in slot 105; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in pick 106 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A wild overpay on Beaux Limmer in Round 4, Pick 7, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A clean, defensible pick in No. 109 with a little surplus value in Matt Goncalves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They paid a round early for Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick No. 115 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Leonard Taylor III at slot 121. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Chau Smith-Wade while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at the 126th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They paid up for Jacob Cowing at No. 130 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent pick 131 on Cam Hart, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in pick No. 133 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A slide stopped in the 134th overall pick, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Josh Newton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 135 on Josh Newton with quarterback unsolved.
Pick138
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hunter Nourzad. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They reached a country mile for Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146
Rnd5
Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to the 146th pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in pick 147. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 151st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in slot 155, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Coleman this early at pick No. 156. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 24, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in No. 161 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker is a better player than the 162nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick169
Rnd5
Trente Jones
Trente Jones at Round 5, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Grayson Murphy at pick 170 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
They reached into another round for Cedric Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at slot 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in the 174th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A real head-scratcher, Logan Lee in the 176th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Coker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick 180 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at the 185th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 186th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 187 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick191
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at No. 191, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They reached into another round for Caedan Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
They will replay Ro Torrence at the 202nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All at Round 6, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at the 212th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216
Rnd6
Keaton Bills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaton Bills well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at pick 217. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick No. 218 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 7, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at pick 234 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Somehow JD Bertrand was still sitting there in slot 240, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston in No. 243 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at the 245th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
