Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Gabe Hall, taking him 122 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick2
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 2nd pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick No. 3 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.
Pick4
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 4 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 22nd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 23 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 28th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick32
Rnd1
Malachi Corley
In No. 32 they get a go-to option on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Payton Wilson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A big swing on Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 36th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
A real head-scratcher, Marshawn Kneeland in the 50th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 52 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at pick No. 56, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick63
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roman Wilson at the 63rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in pick No. 68, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 69 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in the 74th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 78 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Value said wait; Mekhi Wingo in pick 83 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Worthy reach Round 3, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at the 94th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in the 95th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98
Rnd3
Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at slot 98, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 99 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They took DeWayne Carter at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They let Dominick Puni come to them and pounced at No. 101. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in the 103rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in pick No. 107. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington is a better player than slot 108 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Value said wait; Dallin Holker in the 112th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Somehow Kris Abrams-Draine was still sitting there in No. 117, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick118
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
They liked Jamari Thrash enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They reached into another round for Anthony Gould, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Cowing in slot 122 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They paid sticker price for Beaux Limmer in the 124th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at pick 129, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 31, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at pick No. 133, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
They read the board right and Mason McCormick was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at the 172nd pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in Round 5, Pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in pick 176. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 178th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A reach on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 179; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
A safety of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Taking Marist Liufau in No. 194 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
A tidy little value on Tahj Washington in slot 196, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at Round 6, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 209 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 211th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at the 214th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They paid a round early for Eric Watts in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
