Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Nobody had Brevyn Spann-Ford this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 111 spots to get him at pick 153. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Laube. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick No. 14 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
They did well to land Laiatu Latu in No. 15, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick16
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 16th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick17
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 17 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in the 19th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 21 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
No drama and no debate, Ladd McConkey went about where he belonged in slot 23. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Junior Colson
In pick 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick26
Rnd1
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 27th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In slot 28 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Cade Stover
They reached into another round for Cade Stover, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick32
Rnd1
Max Melton
In pick No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at Round 2, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in slot 34, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at pick No. 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in pick 37; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A conviction pick on Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at the 39th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A real head-scratcher, Trey Benson in the 40th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 41 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at pick No. 42 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Drake Maye
Drake Maye in slot 43 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Somehow Byron Murphy II was still sitting there in the 45th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at the 46th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A premium they did not need to pay, T'Vondre Sweat a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Value said wait; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 2, Pick 16 says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at No. 49, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached a country mile for Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 52, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in Round 2, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Graham Barton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Graham Barton in the 55th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Taking Nate Wiggins in slot 56 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.
Pick57
Rnd2
Austin Booker
A reach on Austin Booker in pick 57; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 58th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They paid a round early for Michael Hall Jr. in the 59th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mekhi Wingo. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 66th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
They liked Bralen Trice enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 3. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonah Elliss well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
They will replay Tyler Guyton at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at pick 71, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
A wild overpay on DeWayne Carter in the 73rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at slot 74 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in pick No. 75, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Value said wait; Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 78th overall pick says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick79
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Jones this early at No. 79. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
They talked themselves into Tip Reiman at Round 3, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 85 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
Circle this one: Troy Franklin at slot 86 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Worthy reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Javon Baker
The board had Javon Baker higher than pick 89, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Nice patience on Malik Washington, who had no business lasting to the 90th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Davis. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon in the 96th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
A big swing on Tommy Eichenberg at Round 3, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
They robbed the room for Tyler Nubin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
The board fumbled Kingsley Suamataia all the way to pick 100, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jermaine Burton
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 101 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 103rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They barely believed it either: Ja'Tavion Sanders still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
A wild overpay on Decamerion Richardson in No. 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chau Smith-Wade well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in No. 107 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick109
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sione Vaki in Round 4, Pick 9, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick110
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick No. 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 112 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They read the board right and Brandon Coleman was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at pick 122 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan

Pick127
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper

Pick128
Rnd4
Marist Liufau

Pick130
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio

Pick131
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson

Pick135
Rnd4

Jalyx Hunt in pick 135 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd5

Pick138
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson

Pick140

Pick142
Rnd5

Pick143
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at the 146th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
They let Isaac Guerendo come to them and pounced at the 148th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5

Cody Schrader at slot 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha

Pick180
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 180th pick 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.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick No. 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in Round 6, Pick 11 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A wild overpay on Justin Rogers in No. 188, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 189 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Eric Watts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Watts in the 190th overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at the 197th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
They barely believed it either: Sataoa Laumea still on the board at pick 199. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 6, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick206
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
No edge and no loss on Layden Robinson in slot 206; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tylan Grable
They jumped the gun on Tylan Grable, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Monk well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in slot 218 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 221st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222
Rnd7
AJ Barner
Somehow AJ Barner was still sitting there in pick 222, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Sirmon this early at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 228 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 229 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A big swing on Keilan Robinson at No. 231, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 234th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
They talked themselves into Keaton Bills at Round 7, Pick 18, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to the 240th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 247th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 251 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dylan Laube
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Laube in pick No. 252, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in slot 253, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
