FutureA+
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Korey Foreman, 95 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is not that Burke is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Suamataia.
So much rides on Jared Verse that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick No. 22 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
They reached into another round for Cooper DeJean, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Denzel Burke adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Wilson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kingsley Suamataia reach Round 3, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Will Shipley
Will Shipley at No. 81 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They reached a country mile for Devontez Walker at the 85th overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
A tidy little value on Amarius Mims in slot 86, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommy Eichenberg at the 133rd pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at Round 5, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
A reach on Joshua Gray in No. 198; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at the 223rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Silas Bolden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Silas Bolden this early at the 255th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
