Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. Call it larceny. Jarrian Jones sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
They are betting Watts proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 8th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 10 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 13 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 14 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In slot 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 18th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick22
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 23 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In No. 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the 27th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mike Sainristil. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Renardo Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Renardo Green well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In pick No. 32 they get a lead back with juice, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at Round 2, Pick 1 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than pick 35, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They let J.J. McCarthy come to them and pounced at pick No. 36. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They jumped the gun on Chris Braswell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They paid up for Christian Haynes at the 38th pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A big swing on Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Hall Jr. in the 42nd overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 43 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at pick No. 44. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 45 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the 47th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Value said wait; Cade Stover in slot 48 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in pick 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick50
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in Round 2, Pick 18, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They went early on Austin Booker in the 51st overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
A wild overpay on Bralen Trice in No. 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in slot 53, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reach for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 59th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61
Rnd2
Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 61 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in pick 63 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They talked themselves into Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick66
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 3, Pick 2 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 67th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick68
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 3, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
They reached into another round for Brandon Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 70 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonah Elliss a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in pick 74. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
