Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
C+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a C+. Some picks age like wine; Keilan Robinson at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 115 spots clear of his grade. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Colson. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
It is not that Sainristil is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 26 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 28th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 29 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 54, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at the 55th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at slot 66 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A reach on Renardo Green in the 67th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 71 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in pick No. 72. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Value with a capital V on Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 12, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A want over a need in pick 81: Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick83
Rnd3
Javon Baker
They jumped the gun on Javon Baker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A clean, defensible pick in No. 84 with a little surplus value in Brandon Dorlus. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 28 on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick No. 93. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 94th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Somehow Austin Booker was still sitting there in slot 95, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They will replay Junior Colson at the 96th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at Round 3, Pick 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
A real head-scratcher, Blake Fisher in pick 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A conviction pick on Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They reached a country mile for Beaux Limmer at pick No. 108, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick115
Rnd4
Will Shipley
A tidy bit of business in pick 115, where Will Shipley graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in slot 118 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 150th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the 156th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 6, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keilan Robinson in No. 194, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach pick No. 222 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in pick 233 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
