Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Keilan Robinson, 148 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
On value alone, Thrash makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The veteran additions, Nick Bosa chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in slot 1, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick2
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 3rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 5 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick20
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 23rd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 25 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In No. 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 30th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
A conviction pick on Roman Wilson at pick No. 31 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
They let Taliese Fuaga come to them and pounced at No. 33. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 36th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Value said wait; Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They reached into another round for Ricky Pearsall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the 40th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in slot 45, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 46 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 19. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at pick No. 54, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A real head-scratcher, Cade Stover in pick 55 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 60th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick61
Rnd2
Dominick Puni
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominick Puni. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Bralen Trice. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at the 70th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick72
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 72 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A reach on Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 12; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Circle this one: Xavier Worthy at slot 78 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They paid up for MarShawn Lloyd at the 80th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at No. 81, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 86 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92
Rnd3
DJ James
DJ James at pick No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the 94th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Bo Nix
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Bo Nix in slot 96, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kingsley Suamataia
Taking Kingsley Suamataia in pick 103 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in No. 111 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 114th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at the 115th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 117 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 18. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at slot 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They liked Roger Rosengarten enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 121. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
They barely believed it either: Jonah Elliss still on the board at pick 122. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in the 123rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at the 126th pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in slot 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in pick 129 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in Round 4, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at pick No. 133. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at No. 135 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 140th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 141 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 142, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
They reached into another round for Andrew Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 149th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at pick 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick152
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in Round 5, Pick 16 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Nice patience on Jacob Cowing, who had no business lasting to pick No. 155. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in the 159th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at the 161st overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 162 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
The board fumbled Tommy Eichenberg all the way to Round 5, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki slipping to Round 5, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick167
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They jumped the gun on Khristian Boyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 169 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
They reached a country mile for JD Bertrand at slot 175, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
A tidy little value on Layden Robinson in No. 182, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick No. 183 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
A real head-scratcher, Rasheen Ali in slot 184 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
A slide stopped in the 185th overall pick, with Grayson Murphy worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They paid a round early for Myles Cole in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in the 192nd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in Round 6, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at pick 195, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Murphy in slot 196, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
They reached a country mile for Cedric Johnson at Round 6, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A reach for Jaylen Harrell in the 200th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tahj Washington at pick No. 202 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 204 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Somehow Jamari Thrash was still sitting there in the 212th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in Round 6, Pick 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, C.J. Hanson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 231 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jha'Quan Jackson reach pick 242 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marcellas Dial in No. 255. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
