Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesF
FutureB-
Daniels is the Cardinals' new face under center. Grade: D. Somebody took the Cardinals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 6th pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A tidy little value on Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 66th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
No drama and no debate, Jonah Elliss went about where he belonged in pick No. 90. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at slot 117. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. still on the board at pick 138. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 151st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
The board fumbled Isaiah Adams all the way to slot 161, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 172nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at pick 210 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 226 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
