Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueB

FutureC
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Myles Cole a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Holker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 35th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 46th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A reach for Christian Haynes in pick No. 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in pick No. 90, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Michael Hall Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 5, where Michael Hall Jr. graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
Taking Sedrick Van Pran in slot 108 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Nothing to complain about; Beau Brade went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick137
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick140
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 140th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They reached a country mile for Delmar Glaze at No. 150, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
They reached into another round for Roger Rosengarten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader slid further than he should have, and pick No. 185 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Circle this one: Dallin Holker at Round 6, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 188th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at pick 196, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
They let Austin Stogner come to them and pounced at the 222nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
A OT-EDGE of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 235 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Myles Cole
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in pick 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
