Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals did not so much draft Brevyn Spann-Ford as overpay for him, 132 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
They banked enough surplus on Tampa to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 2 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick3
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 3 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 7th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 9th pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick 19 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher.
Pick20
Rnd1
Adisa Isaac
In No. 20 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In slot 21 they get an every-down engine for the run game, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In the 22nd overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 23rd pick they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the 25th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the 28th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick29
Rnd1
Cade Stover
In pick No. 29 they get a red-zone target to build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In slot 30 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick31
Rnd1
Renardo Green
In No. 31 they get a downhill hitter at safety, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32
Rnd1
Christian Haynes
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They talked themselves into Cooper Beebe at the 33rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 36 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in No. 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in the 39th pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They will replay Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 44 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
They barely believed it either: Cooper DeJean still on the board at pick No. 46. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick47
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
A wild overpay on Mekhi Wingo in the 47th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 48th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 18 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 51st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at pick No. 55 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to pick 56, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 63rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They let Kris Jenkins come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 32. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Taking Junior Colson in pick 65 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach pick No. 67 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They did well to land Ja'Lynn Polk in the 71st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A reach for Malik Washington in the 72nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Dorlus at No. 74, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
