Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 107 spots for Cody Schrader, and value like that does not grow back.
The Powers-Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In pick 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 13th pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
They reached a country mile for Braden Fiske at pick No. 14, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick15
Rnd1
JC Latham
JC Latham at No. 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick16
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 16th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick17
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 18th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at pick No. 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick21
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick22
Rnd1
Mike Sainristil
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mike Sainristil in pick 22, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ben Sinnott
In slot 23 they get a security blanket over the middle, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 24 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the 25th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In pick 26 they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Trey Benson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an every-down engine for the run game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick28
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 28th pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick31
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A wild overpay on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
Value said wait; Michael Hall Jr. in pick 34 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where J.J. McCarthy graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. is a better player than Round 2, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
MarShawn Lloyd
A big swing on MarShawn Lloyd at slot 39, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 40th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chop Robinson at pick No. 41. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A reach for Adisa Isaac in slot 42; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Steal is underselling it; Terrion Arnold at the 44th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They robbed the room for Nate Wiggins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at No. 47 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in the 48th pick with a little surplus value in Keon Coleman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Fair-plus on Xavier Worthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in Round 2, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58
Rnd2
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 58th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59
Rnd2
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 59th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 65 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 66 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Javon Bullard worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at pick No. 68, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 69 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick71
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T.J. Tampa in slot 71. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick74
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at pick No. 74. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Austin Booker in the 75th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A reach on Bralen Trice in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at Round 3, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They liked Jonah Elliss enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 78. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 79th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
They went early on Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 18, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick86
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They did well to land Cade Stover in the 86th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Taking Cooper Beebe in pick 90 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermaine Burton at pick No. 91 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Johnny Wilson this early at slot 96. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 99th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jacob Cowing
They talked themselves into Jacob Cowing at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Gould this early at No. 101. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick No. 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick105
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brennan Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They talked themselves into Cody Schrader at slot 106, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalyx Hunt in the 107th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A big swing on Tyler Davis at pick 109, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Value said wait; Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 110 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kingsley Suamataia
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at slot 112 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 4, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 115th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick116
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Somehow Andru Phillips was still sitting there in No. 116, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 117th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They will replay Roger Rosengarten at pick 120 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ray Davis
The board fumbled Ray Davis all the way to the 124th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Zak Zinter in pick No. 127, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at slot 130 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick131
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach the 131st pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Somehow Hunter Nourzad was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams slipping to No. 138 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 140 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg

Pick142
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cedric Gray in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 143 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146
Rnd5
Erick All
Erick All in Round 5, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A quiet steal in the 148th pick: Malik Mustapha for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick151
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
They let Ainias Smith come to them and pounced at the 151st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Value with a capital V on Xavier Thomas in No. 152, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick155
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 155 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A tidy little value on Mason McCormick in the 158th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Nothing to complain about; Tanor Bortolini went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in slot 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162
Rnd5
Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick No. 162, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick164
Rnd5
AJ Barner
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in the 164th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick 166 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A straight-up fair deal on Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in slot 172 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176
Rnd6
Josh Newton
Steal is underselling it; Josh Newton at pick No. 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick180
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor slid further than he should have, and No. 180 is lovely value for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 182nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in pick 183 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathan Thomas a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Layden Robinson in the 187th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy

Pick190
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in pick 190, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 191st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid a round early for Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 197, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They reached into another round for Eric Watts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 204 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Harrell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
A wild overpay on Myles Murphy in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Nice patience on Javion Cohen, who had no business lasting to slot 213. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick 218 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd6
Michael Barrett

Pick220
Rnd6
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon at the 220th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 221st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 222nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They took Trey Taylor at par in slot 225, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
No edge and no loss on Ryan Watts in Round 7, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick No. 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234
Rnd7
Evan Williams
By-the-book stuff, Evan Williams at the 234th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235
Rnd7
Blake Watson
You do not let a running back like Blake Watson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in No. 238 is fair value, right on his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in pick 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick No. 242 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245
Rnd7
Deantre Prince

Pick247
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony

Pick249
Rnd7
Carlton Johnson

Pick251
Rnd7
Ro Torrence

Pick252
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan

Pick253
Rnd7
Christian Roland-Wallace
Value said wait; Christian Roland-Wallace in slot 253 says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
