Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Keilan Robinson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 135 spots ahead at the 145th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
Getting Abrams-Draine where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Trey Hendrickson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 5 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 15 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 23 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in pick No. 28, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick29
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 29th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 30th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
They paid a round early for Payton Wilson in the Round 1 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 32nd overall pick they get a true top target, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A big swing on Mike Sainristil at Round 2, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They read the board right and J.J. McCarthy was the payoff at pick 35. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Haynes this early at the 37th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cade Stover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cade Stover in No. 38, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Beebe well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 40 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 10 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 45th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at slot 46 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
The board had Tyler Nubin higher than the 54th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick 55 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick56
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Terrion Arnold in No. 56, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 57th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Ennis Rakestraw Jr. reach Round 2, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Somehow Ja'Tavion Sanders was still sitting there in slot 59, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keon Coleman at the 60th overall pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A slide stopped in pick No. 62, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick 65; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 69 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in the 70th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick71
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Washington a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 74th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They paid up for Patrick Paul at slot 75 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in No. 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Michael Hall Jr. for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They jumped the gun on Mekhi Wingo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at pick 92 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 95 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 96 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 97, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
They liked Javon Solomon enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 37. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Brennan Jackson at the 101st overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
They paid sticker price for Brandon Coleman in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A reach for Brenden Rice in pick 105; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 109th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
Quietly one of the better values of the day, MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 110. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at No. 113 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kimani Vidal
A real head-scratcher, Kimani Vidal in the 117th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They reached into another round for Cody Schrader, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 21 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 122nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey

Pick127
Rnd4
Ainias Smith

Rnd4
Tahj Washington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Washington. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason McCormick this early at pick No. 133. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
A reach on Beaux Limmer in slot 138; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick140
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves

Rnd5

Rnd5
Erick All
Erick All in pick No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Audric Estime
Steal is underselling it; Audric Estime at slot 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
They will replay Cedric Gray at No. 158 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Leonard Taylor III
Taking Leonard Taylor III in the 159th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5

Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 162nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Rnd5
Tyler Davis

Rnd5

Pick176

Myles Harden in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 202nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 204, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick212
Rnd6

Rnd6
Justin Rogers

Pick214
Rnd6

A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Murphy well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nice patience on Edefuan Ulofoshio, who had no business lasting to the 215th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Nathaniel Watson slipping to pick No. 218 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.

Pick230
Rnd7
KT Leveston
They read the board right and KT Leveston was the payoff at No. 230. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Rnd7
Steele Chambers
