Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a D-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took J.J. Weaver at the 254th pick, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCormick. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
They let Quinyon Mitchell come to them and pounced at pick No. 27. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick28
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 28th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 37. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 90 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A slide stopped in slot 98, with Brandon Dorlus worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 4, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in the 115th pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in the 126th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea is a better player than the 133rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson slid further than he should have, and slot 138 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in the 140th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Steal is underselling it; Jamari Thrash at pick No. 149 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick161
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Taking Christian Jones in No. 161 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick169
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A conviction pick on Delmar Glaze at Round 5, Pick 35 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
They barely believed it either: Tommy Eichenberg still on the board at the 172nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 176, where Luke McCaffrey graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the 185th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at pick 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Somehow Sione Vaki was still sitting there in slot 194, and they pounced on premier safety value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A linebacker of that caliber at the 196th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They will replay Caedan Wallace at slot 202 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick213
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to pick No. 213 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 6, Pick 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Drake Nugent in the 215th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than Round 6, Pick 42, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathan Thomas at No. 218 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
The board fumbled Daequan Hardy all the way to slot 226, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick232
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Circle this one: JD Bertrand at the 232nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 245th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at pick 254. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the 255th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They did well to land Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 256, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
A quiet steal in slot 257: LaDarius Henderson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
