Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Keilan Robinson. He came off 118 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wiley. 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.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marvin Harrison Jr. at slot 1, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 4 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick5
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 5 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 16, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick17
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 17th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 18th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jared Verse
The board had Jared Verse higher than the 24th overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 1 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick30
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a true top target, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In pick No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A wild overpay on Xavier Legette in the 33rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at slot 36, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They reached into another round for Trey Benson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in pick 40 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 42 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Steal is underselling it; Amarius Mims at the 43rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They robbed the room for Graham Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A conviction pick on Christian Haynes at the 45th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nate Wiggins in slot 53, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick54
Rnd2
Max Melton
Max Melton at the 54th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick55
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They paid a round early for Renardo Green in Round 2, Pick 23, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A slide stopped in pick No. 57, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 58 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 59 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 60th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at pick No. 61, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 62nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in No. 64, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Dorlus a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 66. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Elliss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mekhi Wingo in Round 3, Pick 4, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeWayne Carter this early at slot 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 3, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Adonai Mitchell
They will replay Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 72 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Anthony Gould
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Gould in the 76th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 77th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at slot 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at pick 79 when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A big swing on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 86th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in Round 3, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick89
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at No. 89. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick90
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in the 90th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93
Rnd3
Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at pick No. 93, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Davis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They barely believed it either: Ja'Tavion Sanders still on the board at the 100th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Kamari Lassiter
You do not let a cornerback like Kamari Lassiter reach the 101st overall pick and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon in pick 103 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Value said wait; Tommy Eichenberg in slot 105 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marist Liufau. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
A reach for Brennan Jackson in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at pick 109, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 10 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: McKinnley Jackson in the 112th pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in pick No. 117, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at slot 120, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4

Pick127
Rnd4

Cedric Johnson at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Value said wait; Nelson Ceaser in No. 138 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 139, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio

Pick141
Rnd5

Pick143
Rnd5

Rnd5
Tip Reiman

Pick152
Rnd5

Pick156
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamari Thrash in the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in the 161st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Rnd5
Keilan Robinson

Pick175
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick176
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the 176th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
Erick All
Circle this one: Erick All at No. 180 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 181 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick No. 182 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 183rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Bucky Irving
Taking Bucky Irving in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at pick 187. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 13 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Evan Anderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Anderson in Round 6, Pick 14, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Somehow Trevor Keegan was still sitting there in the 192nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 193rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
A reach on Layden Robinson in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jacob Monk
They reached into another round for Jacob Monk, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They let Curtis Jacobs come to them and pounced at pick No. 201. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
The board fumbled Jared Wiley all the way to pick 207, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 210 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.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 220th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached a country mile for Trajan Jeffcoat at the 223rd pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Myles Harden at slot 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Sione Vaki
The board fumbled Sione Vaki all the way to No. 229, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in slot 238 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JD Bertrand at the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
A tidy bit of business in the 240th pick, where Steele Chambers graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Frank Crum
They jumped the gun on Frank Crum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Value with a capital V on Tarheeb Still in the 247th overall pick, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251
Rnd7
Matt Lee
Matt Lee in Round 7, Pick 31 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
No edge and no loss on Jackson Sirmon in Round 7, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
