Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Keilan Robinson selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 122 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The Davis pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 8th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 11th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 12 they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 15 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 20th pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick21
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 24 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick26
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick No. 28 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In slot 31 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In pick No. 32 they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick33
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
A clean, defensible pick in pick 34 with a little surplus value in Ladd McConkey. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy is a better player than No. 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 36th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They talked themselves into Trey Benson at the 37th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 38th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in the 39th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A reach for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 10; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
Renardo Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Renardo Green. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick48
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Javon Baker
They reached into another round for Javon Baker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 53 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 54th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55
Rnd2
Austin Booker
A reach on Austin Booker in pick 55; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They paid a round early for Michael Hall Jr. in the 56th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 57 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.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 58 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 59 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the 61st overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They liked Jeremiah Trotter Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 1. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 66 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A big swing on Cole Bishop at the 67th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 68th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They jumped the gun on Brandon Dorlus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at pick No. 70. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 71 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
The board fumbled Christian Haynes all the way to No. 74, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in Round 3, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 76 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Burton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 78 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick 82 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in the 85th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
