FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. There is reaching, and then there is John Emery Jr. at slot 213. The Cardinals jumped the board by 268 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
They let Shemar Stewart come to them and pounced at the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in slot 48 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in the 58th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
They took Aeneas Peebles at par in No. 81, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 85 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They will replay Jaxson Dart at the 91st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 98 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A big swing on Willie Lampkin at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at pick No. 118 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 25 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127
Rnd4
David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in the 127th pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Connor Colby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Connor Colby. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
The board had Anthony Belton higher than the Round 4 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in pick 133, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They paid sticker price for Rylie Mills in the 135th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
They talked themselves into Chase Lundt at the 136th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Monheim at slot 148, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Cooper this early at Round 5, Pick 12. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
The board fumbled O'Donnell Fortune all the way to pick No. 153, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 175. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick176
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick 176 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
They reached into another round for Jack Kiser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 185 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick192
Rnd6
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 192nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203
Rnd6
Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach the 203rd overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 204 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205
Rnd6
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick206
Rnd6
Corey Kiner
A quiet steal in No. 206: Corey Kiner for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
Taking RJ Harvey in Round 6, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213
Rnd6
John Emery Jr.
A wild overpay on John Emery Jr. in pick No. 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 226 with a little surplus value in Carson Vinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in the 227th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at the 233rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 238 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245
Rnd7
Kyle Williams
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at slot 245 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at the 256th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
