Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The war room fell hard for Kimani Vidal, and it showed at Round 4, Pick 28: 125 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Oladapo pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Bryce Young leading the way.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 8th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In slot 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 27th pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 28 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 1 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick31
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the 31st overall pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Payton Wilson in the 33rd overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A wild overpay on Malachi Corley in pick No. 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Wilson a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J.J. McCarthy in the 37th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in No. 40 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at slot 41, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Nubin in the 46th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick48
Rnd2
Junior Colson
