FutureC+
The Cardinals robbed the room for Laube. Final grade: D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
Reaching for Watson left real value on the table behind him. Landing Laube that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 18th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 27 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in pick 35, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 11 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They paid a round early for Malachi Corley in pick No. 66, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 3, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at No. 105. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at pick 110, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 116th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at slot 144 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155
Rnd5
Renardo Green
Nothing to complain about; Renardo Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 186th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They will replay Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at slot 187 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick188
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than pick 188 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Javon Baker
A tidy little value on Javon Baker in Round 6, Pick 14, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
No drama and no debate, Andrew Raym went about where he belonged in No. 199. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 222nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 226th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Brian Ugwu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brian Ugwu in the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 252 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at slot 253 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Devin Leary
They reached into another round for Devin Leary, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Zion Logue
By-the-book stuff, Zion Logue at the 257th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
