Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Sione Vaki, 108 picks ahead of schedule.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allen. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in Round 1, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 2 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick7
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 7 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 10th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinyon Mitchell. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick12
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In slot 12 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Payton Wilson this early at the 15th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick16
Rnd1
