Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B
ValueC-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Eugene Asante, taking him 187 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
They paid a round early for Nic Scourton in pick No. 25, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 47th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at slot 78. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They liked Jaxson Dart enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 17. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at the 86th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 99th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Carson Vinson
A big swing on Carson Vinson at Round 5, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Value with a capital V on Jeffrey Bassa in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 140 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Farmer in the 145th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Parrish. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Antwane Wells Jr. in slot 151 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They reached into another round for Jonah Monheim, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A wild overpay on JJ Pegues in No. 157, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in the 159th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick No. 162 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 164th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168
Rnd5
Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at No. 168. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at slot 170, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the 172nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173
Rnd5
Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in pick No. 173, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd6
Anthony Belton
They talked themselves into Anthony Belton at pick 176, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 180th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
CJ West
A conviction pick on CJ West at pick No. 189 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 191st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Nick Nash
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Nash this early at No. 192. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick199
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
Akheem Mesidor
They talked themselves into Akheem Mesidor at slot 202, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in pick 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 209th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Hawes a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Tim Smith
A real head-scratcher, Tim Smith in pick 221 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.J. Weaver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 227 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.
Pick230
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Eugene Asante
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eugene Asante well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
