FutureD
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B-. When a board-topper like Anthony Belton slides to pick 224, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
They are betting Dolac proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 32 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in slot 37. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Grey Zabel at pick 47. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 54, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in the 78th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91
Rnd3
Kyle McCord
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle McCord well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 18 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at slot 123. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
No edge and no loss on Terrance Ferguson in pick 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Value said wait; Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 127th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in pick No. 129, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in No. 133 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick134
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 140 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills slipping to No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 153rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
David Walker
They jumped the gun on David Walker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 160th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They read the board right and Vernon Broughton was the payoff at pick No. 161. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 162nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Quinn Carroll
A big swing on Quinn Carroll at pick No. 167, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at No. 180 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in slot 182 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at the 184th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shaun Dolac. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Nice patience on Cobee Bryant, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 20. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick207
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Fair-plus on Kyle Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Briningstool this early at the 214th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd6
CJ West
A tidy little value on CJ West in Round 6, Pick 40, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Cam Jackson at the 221st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They let Carson Vinson come to them and pounced at slot 223. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at pick 227, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
They will replay Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jacob Parrish
Circle this one: Jacob Parrish at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 238th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
