Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureD
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Some picks age like wine; Kimani Vidal at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 80 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gray. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. 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
Pick23
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 23rd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 27th pick they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Nice patience on Dallas Turner, who had no business lasting to Round 1, Pick 28. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In No. 29 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In No. 30 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 64th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 66th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in slot 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in pick 91 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92
Rnd3
Beau Brade
A wild overpay on Beau Brade in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in Round 4, Pick 4, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 108 with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in the 125th pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalyx Hunt a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach pick No. 146 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 5 slot 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.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at the 162nd overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick173
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.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 186th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
The board had Drake Nugent higher than No. 219, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Logan Lee
Logan Lee is a better player than slot 226 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 246th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
