Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: X'Zauvea Gadlin, 49 picks early at Round 7, Pick 21. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Getting Liufau where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In No. 23 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 38th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 21. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell slipping to pick 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 66th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They paid up for Roman Wilson at pick No. 71 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at the 92nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick107
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 21. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 124 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Taking Marist Liufau in No. 128 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 129th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 4, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 137th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They paid sticker price for Dallin Holker in pick 145, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They jumped the gun on Cody Schrader, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at No. 161 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 171 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ty'Ron Hopper in the 172nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at slot 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy little value on Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 188 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 6, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
Marcellas Dial
The board had Marcellas Dial higher than the 209th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A slide stopped in pick No. 215, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Aki Ogunbiyi
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aki Ogunbiyi at pick 219 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
They read the board right and Tylan Grable was the payoff at the 222nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224
Rnd7
Kingsley Eguakun
A reach for Kingsley Eguakun in pick No. 224; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
The board fumbled Austin Stogner all the way to No. 239, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Circle this one: Isaiah Williams at Round 7, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
Value said wait; X'Zauvea Gadlin in the 241st pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Braiden McGregor
They barely believed it either: Braiden McGregor still on the board at slot 245. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
