Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a C+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 226 on Decamerion Richardson a full 92 spots early.
Barner falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Hit on Olumuyiwa Fashanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 27th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
They jumped the gun on Darius Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the 35th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick36
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
No drama and no debate, Ricky Pearsall went about where he belonged in slot 59. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at pick 60, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
The board had cheaper options than Marshawn Kneeland at the 66th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 72nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick No. 96 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in the 100th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in the 104th overall pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 107 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Fair-plus on Mekhi Wingo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at pick 120 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at No. 122 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Beau Brade
No edge and no loss on Beau Brade in slot 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in pick No. 138, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sione Vaki. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith slipping to slot 152 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Nothing to complain about; Jalyx Hunt went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
They reached a country mile for JD Bertrand at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mason McCormick at pick 163 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
They will replay Anthony Gould at the 169th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
A reach on Tahj Washington in the 172nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kimani Vidal well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in No. 189 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
A safety of that caliber at pick 196 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 6, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at the 200th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick204
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They paid a round early for Gabe Hall in slot 212, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Coker this early at pick 213. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 217th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to No. 219, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They reached into another round for Andrew Raym, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 222 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in the 226th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
A big swing on Jawhar Jordan at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at Round 7, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
AJ Barner
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, AJ Barner in the 246th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in slot 247, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at pick 254, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in No. 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
