Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went at the 74th overall pick, a good 157 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 2 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 12th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallas Turner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick15
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick16
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In slot 19 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 20 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 21st pick they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick22
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick No. 22 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In pick 25 they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 28th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In slot 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
JC Latham
Nice patience on JC Latham, who had no business lasting to Round 1, Pick 30. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In No. 32 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 33 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They jumped the gun on Edgerrin Cooper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A real head-scratcher, Marshawn Kneeland in pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at the 37th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Renardo Green well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 40th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Graham Barton
The board had Graham Barton higher than Round 2, Pick 10, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in pick No. 43. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 46 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They talked themselves into Trey Benson at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at Round 2, Pick 16, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chop Robinson in slot 59, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They robbed the room for Jordan Morgan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in No. 65; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 66th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cade Stover
The board had cheaper options than Cade Stover at slot 68, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 3, Pick 5 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
A wild overpay on Luke McCaffrey in the 71st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at pick No. 74. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Anthony Gould
They reached into another round for Anthony Gould, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in Round 3, Pick 15 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 82 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 86th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeWayne Carter in the 89th pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
A wild overpay on Tyler Davis in slot 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in No. 92, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 96 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They did well to land MarShawn Lloyd in the 101st pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Bullard
They will replay Javon Bullard at pick 103 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104
Rnd4
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in pick No. 104 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 105th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 106 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.
Pick107
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson
They reached a country mile for Nathaniel Watson at No. 107, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at the 110th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 117, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Nothing to complain about; Javon Solomon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
They barely believed it either: Brandon Dorlus still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 123 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They let Jarvis Brownlee Jr. come to them and pounced at the 127th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick130
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at Round 4, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
James Williams
They talked themselves into James Williams at pick No. 131, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
The board fumbled Sedrick Van Pran all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Ainias Smith at slot 137, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
By-the-book stuff, Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 139th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallin Holker well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at pick No. 142. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick143
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
Taking Caelen Carson in the 143rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick146
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
They paid sticker price for Trevin Wallace in the 146th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 148th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach pick 149 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick No. 151 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in slot 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Somehow Isaac Guerendo was still sitting there in No. 162, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Value with a capital V on Myles Cole in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at No. 180 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 181 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in the 182nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at Round 6, Pick 8 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the 186th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in pick 187 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They reached into another round for Logan Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at No. 191 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A quiet steal in the 193rd overall pick: Ty'Ron Hopper for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Circle this one: Walter Rouse at pick 196 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
They took Delmar Glaze at par in pick No. 197, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
A reach on Layden Robinson in the 200th pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They reached into another round for Trey Knox, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at slot 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick218
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A big swing on Jawhar Jordan at No. 218, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at pick No. 221, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the 225th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
They read the board right and Tyrice Knight was the payoff at pick 226. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Barrett. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kalen King
Kalen King in the 230th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Circle this one: Rasheen Ali at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 234th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at No. 238 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
They barely believed it either: M.J. Devonshire still on the board at slot 240. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Monk at the 242nd pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Somehow Jaylan Ford was still sitting there in pick No. 247, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Garret Greenfield in pick 251, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Evan Williams
Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Coker in the 253rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
