Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 167th overall pick.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Arnold makes the weekend a net positive. The veteran additions, Justin Herbert chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 8 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 9th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Jared Verse
Jared Verse at pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick11
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
No edge and no loss on Jer'Zhan Newton in Round 1, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick14
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 14 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Roger Rosengarten
In No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at Round 1, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick18
Rnd1
Cade Stover
In slot 18 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick No. 19 they get the heartbeat of the defense, a steep price for the projection.
Pick20
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 20 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the 24th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In pick 27 they get a three-down runner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick28
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 28 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In slot 29 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick32
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Cooper DeJean graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick35
Rnd2
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 35th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Sainristil a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick37
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 2, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick40
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at slot 40. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at No. 42 squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They robbed the room for Nate Wiggins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick46
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Steal is underselling it; Terrion Arnold at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the 49th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to slot 54 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A quiet steal in the 58th pick: Ja'Tavion Sanders for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in the 60th pick, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
