Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: A-. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Andrew Coker, 106 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The McClellan steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The veteran additions, Vita Vea chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick3
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 4th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 9 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In the 27th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in No. 31 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 1; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 35th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They reached into another round for Christian Haynes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39
Rnd2
JC Latham
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jared Verse
You do not let an edge rusher like Jared Verse reach slot 40 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 42 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 50 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
A quiet steal in the 52nd pick: Javon Bullard for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick54
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at the 55th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They paid sticker price for Ricky Pearsall in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They jumped the gun on Ruke Orhorhoro, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They went early on Cade Stover in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to slot 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They liked Renardo Green enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 32. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick65
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
The board had cheaper options than Mike Sainristil at pick 65, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at No. 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A conviction pick on Austin Booker at the 67th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A real head-scratcher, MarShawn Lloyd in the 69th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in slot 73 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 74 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Devontez Walker at Round 3, Pick 19. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They reached a country mile for Maason Smith at the 87th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington slid further than he should have, and pick No. 102 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 104th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in Round 4, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in pick 108. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
The board fumbled Kris Abrams-Draine all the way to No. 110, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They let Cedric Gray come to them and pounced at slot 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
No drama and no debate, Jamari Thrash went about where he belonged in the 123rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4

James Williams at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Gould a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They paid a round early for Jacob Cowing in No. 135, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 1 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 138th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 142nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick146
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Somehow Javon Foster was still sitting there in pick 146, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
They did well to land Trevor Keegan in pick No. 150, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5

Pick156
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the 156th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157
Rnd5
Garret Greenfield
They talked themselves into Garret Greenfield at No. 157, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at pick 158, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Value with a capital V on Justin Eboigbe in slot 161, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the 162nd pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A wild overpay on Justin Rogers in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5

Pick166
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Circle this one: Roger Rosengarten at No. 166 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 167 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braiden McGregor. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A tidy little value on Marist Liufau in No. 169, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
A reach on Fabien Lovett in slot 171; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174
Rnd5
Andrew Coker

Pick176

KT Leveston
They left a pile of value on the table to take KT Leveston this early at Round 6, Pick 1. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177

Pick185
