Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA
FutureA
Larceny in No. 205 lands the Cardinals a B+, McGlothern and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Dwight McGlothern slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The cost of the Barrett reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade work was a quiet net positive. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at slot 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick29
Rnd1
Graham Barton
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Graham Barton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 38th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonah Elliss this early at pick 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 83rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 113th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 114 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
You do not let a wide receiver like Brenden Rice reach the 116th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
A reach for Dallin Holker in No. 138; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in slot 155, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick No. 162 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris slipping to pick 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
They did well to land Jordan Travis in the 179th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Erick All
A real head-scratcher, Erick All in No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Lee well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dillon Johnson
They will replay Dillon Johnson at pick No. 188 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 17 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.
Pick196
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in the 196th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick 205 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick212
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers is a better player than pick No. 212 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd6
KT Leveston
They reached a country mile for KT Leveston at No. 218, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
A reach on Dominique Hampton in slot 222; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225
Rnd7
Bub Means
They talked themselves into Bub Means at Round 7, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
