Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Cardinals bet big and early on Keilan Robinson, 113 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 2 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 11th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 13 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 16 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 23rd pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 24th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick27
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In pick 27 they get a two-high chess piece, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In slot 31 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
In the 32nd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malachi Corley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ricky Pearsall well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 2, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cade Stover this early at No. 38. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A wild overpay on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 49, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick50
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in Round 2, Pick 18, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 51st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix in slot 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
A big swing on Cole Bishop at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They reached a country mile for Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 59, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick60
Rnd2
Malik Washington
They talked themselves into Malik Washington at pick 60, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 64th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick 65 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in pick No. 66, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They reached into another round for DeWayne Carter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to the 68th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 71 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
They robbed the room for Tyler Nubin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in Round 3, Pick 10 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Somehow Adisa Isaac was still sitting there in pick No. 80, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at the 82nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick89
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They reached a country mile for Marist Liufau at No. 90, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
The board fumbled Kingsley Suamataia all the way to the 91st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 92 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in Round 3, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker slipping to the 99th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in Round 4, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 102nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick 103 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 106 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tahj Washington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Washington. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at No. 108. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bralen Trice
You do not let an edge rusher like Bralen Trice reach pick No. 109 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 110 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 112th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They will replay Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 116 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They barely believed it either: Cam Hart still on the board at slot 118. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A tidy little value on Javon Solomon in the 121st pick, a step better than break-even. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick122
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
