FutureA+
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Dart: A-. The war room fell hard for Shaun Dolac, and it showed at the Round 4 slot: 218 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, with Jaxson Dart leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the 16th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick22
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
Fair-plus on Nick Emmanwori, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jayden Higgins
In pick No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In pick 26 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the Round 1 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A wild overpay on Maxwell Hairston in No. 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick42
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton is a better player than pick 42 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
They took Xavier Watts at par in the 43rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Princely Umanmielen in the 49th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Value with a capital V on Wyatt Milum in Round 2, Pick 18, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They liked Tre Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 51. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 57 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
They went early on Carson Schwesinger in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 65th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ashton Gillotte in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 73 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A clean, defensible pick in No. 95 with a little surplus value in Charles Grant. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
A reach for Billy Bowman Jr. in the 102nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick103
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 2, with Darius Alexander worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They reached into another round for Rylie Mills, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick 113 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 119th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
A real head-scratcher, Shaun Dolac in No. 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
