FutureC-
The phones sank the Cardinals this weekend: D-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: X'Zauvea Gadlin, 81 picks early at the Round 7 slot. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 27th overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slipping to slot 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in the 45th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A quiet steal in the 71st overall pick: Zach Frazier for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
They will replay Ricky Pearsall at Round 3, Pick 13 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
They let Jaden Hicks come to them and pounced at slot 88. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A clean, defensible pick in pick 90 with a little surplus value in Marshawn Kneeland. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 97th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick No. 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in pick 127. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nice patience on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, who had no business lasting to No. 137. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick144
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in slot 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146
Rnd5
Beau Brade
A slide stopped in pick No. 146, with Beau Brade worth more than the price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Fair-plus on Jordan Travis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Somehow Tommy Eichenberg was still sitting there in the 161st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They robbed the room for Johnny Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Steal is underselling it; Marist Liufau at No. 188 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tahj Washington at slot 200 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in the 221st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Taking Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 224 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 230 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at the 237th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tip Reiman
They read the board right and Tip Reiman was the payoff at pick 239. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin in No. 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
