Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Jawhar Jordan a full 143 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The veteran additions, Mike Evans chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in pick 5 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick8
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 8th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick9
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 9 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 10 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 24 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
In the 26th overall pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Zach Frazier
In No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Zak Zinter
In pick 28 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
They talked themselves into Malachi Corley at Round 1, Pick 29, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick30
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the 32nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ricky Pearsall well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They jumped the gun on Chris Braswell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ruke Orhorhoro this early at pick No. 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Stover. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
Somehow Rome Odunze was still sitting there in No. 40, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick42
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at the 42nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Troy Fautanu in the 45th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A clean, defensible pick in pick 46 with a little surplus value in Tyler Nubin. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick47
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick48
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A real head-scratcher, Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 48 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Value with a capital V on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 2 slot 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.
Pick51
Rnd2
Isaac Guerendo
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in the 51st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at slot 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
They liked Bralen Trice enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 54. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than pick No. 57, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than the 66th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
You do not let an offensive lineman like Amarius Mims reach pick 67 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 5, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
Steal is underselling it; T'Vondre Sweat at pick 74 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
They barely believed it either: Jordan Morgan still on the board at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A conviction pick on Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 14 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in the 80th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
Value said wait; DeWayne Carter in slot 82 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 89 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at No. 92, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
They will replay Kingsley Suamataia at No. 96 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at pick No. 101 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick103
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Taking Calen Bullock in the 103rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They read the board right and Malik Washington was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 6. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 108th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They paid a round early for Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 110, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A market-rate OLB-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Solomon. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick118
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Fair-plus on Matt Goncalves, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 121st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in No. 124 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
A big swing on Mason McCormick at the 126th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in pick 129 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kimani Vidal
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kimani Vidal. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 132 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at the 136th pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the 137th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick139
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sione Vaki well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick141
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 141 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in No. 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Gould went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in Round 5, Pick 16, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in No. 153 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tahj Washington

Pick155
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156
Rnd5
Javon Foster
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 156 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They reached a country mile for Brandon Coleman at the 158th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They went early on Layden Robinson in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick166
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached into another round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in No. 168 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Gabe Hall

Pick172
Rnd5
Myles Murphy

Pick174
Rnd5

A real head-scratcher, Andrew Coker in pick 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 175 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 176 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178

Pick181
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor

Pick182
Rnd6
Theo Johnson
The board fumbled Theo Johnson all the way to the 182nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 187th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in Round 6, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
They robbed the room for Javion Cohen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 193rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd6

Rnd6

Curtis Jacobs

Pick205
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick No. 205 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell

Pick208
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole slid further than he should have, and the 208th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at pick 209 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210
Rnd6

Pick217

Rnd7
Trey Knox

Pick233
Rnd7

Pick239
Rnd7
Keith Randolph Jr.
Taking Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 239 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242

Pick243
Rnd7

Pick244
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylon Carlies this early at Round 7, Pick 24. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at No. 246. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick249
Rnd7
Myles Harden

Pick254
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They paid up for Trey Taylor at pick No. 254 when waiting would have done the job. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
