The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Jarrett Kingston, taking him 71 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
On value alone, Ford makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 18. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 53 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slipping to the 66th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach Round 3, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Fair-plus on Marshawn Kneeland, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 97, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
DJ James
They let DJ James come to them and pounced at the 103rd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104
Rnd4
Renardo Green
They jumped the gun on Renardo Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roger Rosengarten in the 118th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They read the board right and Tyler Davis was the payoff at slot 127. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
They paid sticker price for Jacob Cowing in No. 137, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Beau Brade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Beau Brade in pick 149. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to the 160th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick161
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in slot 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Keegan at pick 162 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 167 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in the 170th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
A straight-up fair deal on Jalyx Hunt at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick174
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Gould at the 174th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Coker in slot 185 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They talked themselves into Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 189th pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
They did well to land Tahj Washington in No. 198, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the 202nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in pick 208; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 209 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Curtis Jacobs for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at No. 212 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 6, Pick 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
No edge and no loss on Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 218; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They paid sticker price for Myles Cole in the 219th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A wild overpay on Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 226, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Elijah Jones
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Jones at the 232nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston at pick 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Nothing to complain about; Keaton Bills went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They barely believed it either: Michael Barrett still on the board at slot 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
The board had Javontae Jean-Baptiste higher than pick No. 243, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Somehow Jaylan Ford was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
A tidy bit of business in No. 246, where Sheridan Jones graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at the 248th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jeremy Flax this early at the 249th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
They liked Marcellas Dial enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Frank Crum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
