Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Jawhar Jordan, taking him 117 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Aaron Rodgers leading the way.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 7th pick they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the 19th overall pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 22 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
A big swing on Mike Sainristil at the 25th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In No. 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In the 29th pick they get a three-down runner, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Trey Benson
Value said wait; Trey Benson in No. 30 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 32nd pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in slot 33, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ruke Orhorhoro well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
This one needs a full-page explanation: T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 3, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Value with a capital V on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 36, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They talked themselves into Renardo Green at the 38th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in No. 40, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at the 42nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43
Rnd2
DeWayne Carter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeWayne Carter. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in pick 47, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A tidy little value on Keon Coleman in slot 49, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at slot 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Javon Baker
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Baker a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 60th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 61 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 65th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Taking Kool-Aid McKinstry in Round 3, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Circle this one: Junior Colson at pick No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
The board fumbled Xavier Worthy all the way to No. 71, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
They reached a country mile for Roger Rosengarten at the 72nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No drama and no debate, Brandon Dorlus went about where he belonged in pick No. 79. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
They barely believed it either: Tyler Guyton still on the board at Round 3, Pick 16. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They reached into another round for Gabriel Murphy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Leonard Taylor III well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon in the 86th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 90 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at Round 3, Pick 37, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at the 101st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
They talked themselves into Luke McCaffrey at slot 103, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at the Round 4 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They paid up for Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 106 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick107
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson
Value said wait; Nathaniel Watson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A real head-scratcher, Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 109th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in pick 110, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at slot 111 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at Round 4, Pick 12 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in the 121st pick, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Brennan Jackson in pick No. 122; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They liked Isaac Guerendo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 123. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cody Schrader

Pick130
Rnd4

Pick134
Rnd4

Pick136
Rnd4

Pick137
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 137th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick141
Rnd5
Beau Brade

Pick142
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A big swing on Sione Vaki at the 142nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.

Rnd5
Anthony Gould

Pick164
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
A reach for Chau Smith-Wade in No. 166; a little patience would have been rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.

Pick193
