Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Andrew Coker at pick 141 is 139 spots clear of where he belonged.
Landing Smith that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
They jumped the gun on Dallas Turner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick8
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 8 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 15th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at Round 1, Pick 23 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In slot 24 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick29
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In No. 29 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick30
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
The board had cheaper options than Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 34th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 36th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 38th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 39 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They reached a country mile for Ricky Pearsall at No. 40, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in slot 41 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 46th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached into another round for Cade Stover, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marshawn Kneeland. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 60th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 63 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A reach for Austin Booker in pick No. 65; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 3, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in No. 94, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95
Rnd3
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Delmar Glaze
They talked themselves into Delmar Glaze at the 99th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in No. 100, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A reasonable price with a little left over, MarShawn Lloyd in pick 103. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in pick No. 104 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 105 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107
Rnd4
Max Melton
They robbed the room for Max Melton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
They will replay Brandon Dorlus at No. 114 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dallin Holker in pick No. 116, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 117 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 119th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 20, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalyx Hunt well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Elliss at slot 127 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Solomon at pick No. 132 is the proof. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick133
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in No. 133, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
The board had Tyler Davis higher than pick 134, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 137th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 5, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the 139th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at slot 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Coker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 142nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
Circle this one: Brenden Rice at the 143rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A premium they did not need to pay, Marist Liufau a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
A real head-scratcher, JD Bertrand in pick 151 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A wild overpay on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 152, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They reached into another round for Grayson Murphy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in pick No. 157, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in Round 5, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A tidy bit of business in the 160th pick, where Jacob Cowing graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in No. 161, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 162nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at the 169th pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached a country mile for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 171st overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Erick All
This one needs a full-page explanation: Erick All in slot 172, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at pick No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 6, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at Round 6, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 181st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 187 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
They barely believed it either: Jamari Thrash still on the board at the 189th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
Somehow Jordan Travis was still sitting there in No. 192, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
A wild overpay on Jowon Briggs in pick 195, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196
Rnd6
Hunter Nourzad
The board fumbled Hunter Nourzad all the way to the 196th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197
Rnd6
Keaton Bills
A big swing on Keaton Bills at No. 197, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick No. 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 202nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
KT Leveston
They left a pile of value on the table to take KT Leveston this early at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They liked Trey Knox enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 36. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 213 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Nice patience on Curtis Jacobs, who had no business lasting to pick No. 214. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Fair-plus on Jaylen Harrell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd6
Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd6
Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at pick 219, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222
Rnd7
Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach the 222nd pick and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick227
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Taking Joe Milton III in No. 227 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at slot 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in Round 7, Pick 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick240
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in pick 240 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They talked themselves into Decamerion Richardson at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
They reached a country mile for Jarrett Kingston at the 254th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
They will replay Jaylan Ford at No. 255 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
Steal is underselling it; Tylan Grable at slot 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
