Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. Nobody else had Jawhar Jordan anywhere near pick 120. The Cardinals did, by 155 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
Landing Simpson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 10th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 11th overall pick they get an island corner, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick12
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 12 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 17 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 18 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 19 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 21st pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In pick 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a featured back, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In the 24th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick25
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick31
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In the 31st pick they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 32nd overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at the 37th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 38th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Renardo Green
A big swing on Renardo Green at pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Max Melton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Melton in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick41
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roger Rosengarten this early at No. 41. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They liked Chris Braswell enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 45th overall pick 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.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid up for Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 46 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 47 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at pick 50, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57
Rnd2
Austin Booker
A premium they did not need to pay, Austin Booker a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 58th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in No. 61 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62
Rnd2
Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in the 62nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
They reached into another round for Brandon Dorlus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeWayne Carter well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Somehow Junior Colson was still sitting there in the 67th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A conviction pick on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at slot 68 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
They talked themselves into Isaiah Adams at pick 70, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They barely believed it either: Christian Haynes still on the board at the 77th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Taking Graham Barton in Round 3, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in pick 82. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 84 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
