FutureA+
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. The Tim Smith selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 176 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a C and check back in two years.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bowman Jr.. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Leo Chenal leading the way. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the Round 1 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 70th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in pick No. 76, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
They reached into another round for Luke Kandra, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
They took Aeneas Peebles at par in slot 82, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in pick 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 86 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Fair-plus on Denzel Burke, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They did well to land Tez Johnson in No. 96, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Will Howard
They paid sticker price for Will Howard in the 102nd pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cobee Bryant this early at Round 4, Pick 13. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in pick No. 117. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Willie Lampkin in Round 4, Pick 17, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in the 122nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at No. 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 124th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 126 with a little surplus value in Terrance Ferguson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slid further than he should have, and slot 127 is lovely value for the safety. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
Value said wait; Jabbar Muhammad in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick133
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Raheim Sanders. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at pick 140 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Nice patience on Cody Simon, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at pick No. 148, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 5, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Good price on Jonah Monheim in the 153rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Cam Jackson in the 159th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in slot 160 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
The board had cheaper options than Chase Lundt at pick No. 161, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in the 162nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 166 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
They talked themselves into Jonas Sanker at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick169
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 169th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177
Rnd5
Tim Smith
Tim Smith at Round 5, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, RJ Harvey at the 178th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
