Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Hayden Hatten in the 234th overall pick. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. McGlothern falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The Sainristil pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

In the end it comes back to Cooper DeJean, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 21st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nothing to complain about; Emeka Egbuka went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 3, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 71st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Proctor at the 188th overall pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the 205th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
They jumped the gun on Cody Schrader, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeremiah Walker
They reached a country mile for Jeremiah Walker at Round 7, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick234 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 248 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
