FutureC-
Phillips should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B. The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan Phillips, the No. 106 name on the board, in No. 177.
The cost of the Lampkin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Trenton Simpson leading the way. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
A clean, defensible pick in the 27th pick with a little surplus value in Kenneth Grant. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick31
Rnd1
Bradyn Swinson
In slot 31 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
They paid sticker price for Jihaad Campbell in the 32nd overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34
Rnd2
Josh Simmons
The board had Josh Simmons higher than pick No. 34, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 19: Tyler Booker for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They paid up for Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at No. 65 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Steal is underselling it; Jaxson Dart at pick 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at pick No. 85 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
A big swing on Billy Bowman Jr. at the 88th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Skattebo at the 96th pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They jumped the gun on Jacob Parrish, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They went early on Aeneas Peebles in slot 129, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in No. 130 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.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in the 131st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at the 133rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tai Felton
They barely believed it either: Tai Felton still on the board at Round 4, Pick 32. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
A top-tier running back at a bargain, RJ Harvey in pick 206, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in slot 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
