Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureC
The phones sank the Cardinals this weekend: D. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Carter Bradley, 107 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Berger at that price is a win they earned.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jared Verse
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Verse. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick27
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 35th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the 48th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braden Fiske this early at pick No. 56. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at No. 89, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 27, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Audric Estime in slot 112. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Pratt at pick No. 115. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd5
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 137th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick 139 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in the 152nd pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 183 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in Round 6, Pick 12, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Steal is underselling it; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 188 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to the 195th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 204 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They paid up for Jawhar Jordan at slot 211 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeremy Flax well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
Somehow Isaiah Davis was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 4 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Carter Bradley
Value said wait; Carter Bradley in pick No. 244 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jalen Berger
Circle this one: Jalen Berger at slot 256 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
