Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Decamerion Richardson went at Round 3, Pick 8, a good 102 picks before the board was ready.
The Shipley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 6 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
JC Latham
They paid a round early for JC Latham in the 7th pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick8
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 8 they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallas Turner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 20th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 22 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Taking Brock Bowers in the 23rd pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick24
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the 30th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In pick No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
In the 32nd pick they get an island corner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick33
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at pick 33, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick35
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick36
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Value said wait; Cole Bishop in No. 37 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in the 53rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in Round 2, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshawn Kneeland in No. 55, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 56th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They reached into another round for Patrick Paul, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Michael Penix Jr.
Somehow Michael Penix Jr. was still sitting there in the 63rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in pick No. 64 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 65 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the 66th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at Round 3, Pick 3. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Circle this one: Kris Jenkins at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at No. 69 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 70th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 71 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick72
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at pick No. 72 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 74th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Chop Robinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Chop Robinson reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Chop Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chop Robinson in pick 76, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They read the board right and Austin Booker was the payoff at the 78th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
No drama and no debate, MarShawn Lloyd went about where he belonged in No. 87. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 97 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice is a better player than Round 3, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
The board had Jonah Elliss higher than the 99th overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 101 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They will replay Javon Baker at pick 106 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
A straight-up fair deal on Hunter Nourzad at Round 4, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
