Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureD-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B-. Nobody else had Kimani Vidal anywhere near the 171st pick. The Cardinals did, by 82 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
They banked enough surplus on Abrams-Draine to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
They barely believed it either: Taliese Fuaga still on the board at pick No. 36. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 38th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 2, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
Somehow Jer'Zhan Newton was still sitting there in the 44th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at slot 45 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
A slide stopped in pick 47, with Troy Franklin worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 2, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 66th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
The board had cheaper options than Marshawn Kneeland at the 69th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They read the board right and Malachi Corley was the payoff at No. 70. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adisa Isaac at pick No. 71. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They took Renardo Green at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 76th overall pick on Mike Sainristil with quarterback unsolved.
Pick86
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 86th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
The board fumbled T'Vondre Sweat all the way to pick No. 89, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Taking Cade Stover in Round 3, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in the 108th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Maason Smith
They paid sticker price for Maason Smith in No. 109, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Fair-plus on Mekhi Wingo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 113 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick 119 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Value said wait; Jalyx Hunt in Round 4, Pick 21 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in pick 122; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They talked themselves into Cody Schrader at No. 124, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 34 on Kris Abrams-Draine, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They paid up for Jacob Cowing at the 136th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
They went early on Hunter Nourzad in the 143rd pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
They robbed the room for Blake Fisher here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A real head-scratcher, Delmar Glaze in slot 147 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 153rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 160 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris is a better player than the 162nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at No. 163 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kimani Vidal well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in Round 5, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A reach for Brandon Coleman in pick 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in slot 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
You do not let an edge rusher like Nelson Ceaser reach the 185th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Crumedy in No. 186, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They reached into another round for Eric Watts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Justin Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 6, Pick 32 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at pick No. 211. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in No. 218 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A premium they did not need to pay, Edefuan Ulofoshio a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the 222nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at slot 225 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 240: Frank Gore Jr. for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at Round 7, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
They reached a country mile for Andrew Coker at slot 247, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
A real head-scratcher, Decamerion Richardson in the 252nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
