Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
F
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC-
The board had answers; the Cardinals had Jibunor. Grade: F. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Richard Jibunor, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That Dixon pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
It is not that Green is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 16th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
A quiet steal in the 41st overall pick: Troy Franklin for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick53
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at pick 53, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than the 59th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
The board fumbled Adisa Isaac all the way to Round 3, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They did well to land Michael Hall Jr. in pick 86, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Fair-plus on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marshawn Kneeland in the 93rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Wright still on the board at No. 97. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Renardo Green
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Renardo Green while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A premium they did not need to pay, Mekhi Wingo a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the 109th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen McMillan at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in the 122nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
A reach for Jacob Cowing in slot 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Taking Zak Zinter in pick No. 129 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.
Pick132
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cedric Gray in pick 134. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Somehow Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
They read the board right and Mohamed Kamara was the payoff at slot 139. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tyler Davis
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Davis in the 143rd pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
They let Chau Smith-Wade come to them and pounced at the 148th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick153
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
They will replay Isaiah Adams at No. 153 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade slid further than he should have, and pick No. 154 is lovely value for the safety. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick160
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 24, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at No. 161, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Nothing to complain about; Dallin Holker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 168th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to the 175th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick184
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick 184 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at pick No. 185, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in Round 6, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at slot 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 195 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy little value on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 6, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
They jumped the gun on Tyrice Knight, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 209th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Jha'Quan Jackson at the 211th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Circle this one: Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 215th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 219 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Erick All
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 4, with Erick All worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Good price on Garret Greenfield in slot 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in the 226th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
No edge and no loss on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 237, where Javontae Jean-Baptiste graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 238th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
The board had Keaton Bills higher than slot 245, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jeremy Flax this early at the 250th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
They went early on Marcellas Dial in pick 251, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick255
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 255th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at slot 256 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
They talked themselves into Jarrett Kingston at pick 257, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
