Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cardinals let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, sitting there at the 66th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Cardinals indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback stayed open.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Fautanu at the 35th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A straight-up fair deal on Bralen Trice at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is a better player than slot 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy little value on Blake Corum in the 90th pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in pick 105 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 106th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick137 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 137 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They read the board right and Jarrian Jones was the payoff at No. 161. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Nice patience on Layden Robinson, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 13. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
They took Tip Reiman at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Good price on Garret Greenfield in pick 224, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at slot 241 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
