FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Nobody had Shaun Dolac this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 202 spots to get him at No. 113. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The Spears-Jennings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In pick No. 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In No. 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the 29th pick they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Nolen in pick No. 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 33rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the 35th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Will Howard
A wild overpay on Will Howard in No. 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick42
Rnd2
Armand Membou
Value with a capital V on Armand Membou in pick 42, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Amos. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
They reached into another round for Ozzy Trapilo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 46th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They paid a round early for Alfred Collins in pick 47, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
A premium they did not need to pay, Ashton Gillotte a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 49 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Savaiinaea went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
They liked Bradyn Swinson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 20. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Ivey well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 55th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Value said wait; Tate Ratledge in pick No. 56 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jordan Phillips
A big swing on Jordan Phillips at the 62nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63
Rnd2
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 63 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Mello Dotson
A real head-scratcher, Mello Dotson in Round 2, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick65
Rnd3
Matthew Golden
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 65 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Nick Nash
They reached a country mile for Nick Nash at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in pick 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 79th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 21, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Raheim Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Raheim Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in pick No. 88, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at the 102nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 103rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in No. 104. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at pick 106. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at pick No. 109, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in slot 110 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at Round 4, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 112th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in the 113th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 116th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick No. 118 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
They talked themselves into Ahmed Hassanein at No. 131, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 4, Pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in slot 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tim Smith
A wild overpay on Tim Smith in pick 159, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tosh Baker this early at No. 167. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jabbar Muhammad
Taking Jabbar Muhammad in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at the 179th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
They reached into another round for Jacob Parrish, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick193
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger

Pick200
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick No. 200 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jake Briningstool in the 207th pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 32. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at pick 220, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Robert Spears-Jennings at slot 227 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
