Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. Nobody else had Tip Reiman anywhere near Round 3, Pick 1. The Cardinals did, by 104 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The Taylor III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick14
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 14th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 15 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 18 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 19 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 21 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick22
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the 22nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the 25th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 31st overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
In No. 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at the 33rd pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick35
Rnd2
Renardo Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Renardo Green. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick36
Rnd2
Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at pick No. 37. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38
Rnd2
Trey Benson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in pick 38, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Nice patience on J.J. McCarthy, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick42
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at the 42nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 44th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 45 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in pick No. 46, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A premium they did not need to pay, Adisa Isaac a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 48th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in the 58th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at pick No. 59, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They went early on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 66th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick No. 67 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Value said wait; Cole Bishop in No. 68 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick69
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 6, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 72nd pick 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.
Pick73
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at slot 73 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
They reached into another round for Isaiah Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Jones
A big swing on Christian Jones at pick 75, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Legette at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Value with a capital V on Austin Booker in the 78th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
You do not let a cornerback like Kool-Aid McKinstry reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in pick No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker slid further than he should have, and the 92nd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 94th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Junior Colson in pick 96, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
They barely believed it either: Javon Bullard still on the board at pick No. 97. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A market-rate OLB-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Solomon. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Brennan Jackson in pick No. 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 106th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 107th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 109 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in Round 4, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cedric Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Johnson in No. 111, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 114 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
The board had Jalen McMillan higher than pick No. 118, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
They robbed the room for Jaden Hicks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They took Jacob Cowing at par in the 124th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They liked Ainias Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 125. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A big swing on Cody Schrader at No. 134, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Trevin Wallace
A reach on Trevin Wallace in Round 4, Pick 36; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marist Liufau well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tyrice Knight
A wild overpay on Tyrice Knight in slot 139, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
JD Bertrand

Pick141
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They reached a country mile for Grayson Murphy at the 141st pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
They talked themselves into Nelson Ceaser at the 142nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Decamerion Richardson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Decamerion Richardson. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick146
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 146 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick150
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
A real head-scratcher, Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at the 152nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
A tidy little value on Anthony Gould in pick 153, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Value said wait; Tahj Washington in Round 5, Pick 18 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at the 155th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156
Rnd5

Pick158
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal

Pick166
Rnd5
Jordan Travis

Pick168
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
Taking Beaux Limmer in the 168th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Erick All
Circle this one: Erick All at No. 170 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A big swing on Eric Watts at pick No. 181, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick184
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick190
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in slot 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
By-the-book stuff, Delmar Glaze at Round 6, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
No edge and no loss on Javion Cohen in pick 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
They paid up for Layden Robinson at the 193rd pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
Value said wait; Jacob Monk in the 196th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick No. 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 198th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 199th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200
Rnd6
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at Round 6, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Somehow Khristian Boyd was still sitting there in No. 208, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No drama and no debate, Zion Tupuola-Fetui went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in slot 212, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Kalen King
Kalen King at the 213th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They will replay Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
The board had cheaper options than Justin Rogers at slot 217, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
They took Steele Chambers at par in No. 222, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223
Rnd7
James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Barrett in pick 225, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to the 229th pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jowon Briggs. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tarheeb Still. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Good price on Trey Taylor in pick No. 233, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Knox
They talked themselves into Trey Knox at the 239th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcellas Dial well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick242
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
A clean, defensible pick in pick 244 with a little surplus value in Dylan McMahon. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
A wild overpay on Jaylon Carlies in the 246th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum in the 252nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
They jumped the gun on Keaton Bills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at Round 7, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
A real head-scratcher, X'Zauvea Gadlin in No. 256 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
