FutureD+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Thomas Fidone II; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 159 spots ahead at No. 198.
Getting Harvey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Ezeiruaku. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Mbow went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
They jumped the gun on Kyle Kennard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 60th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at slot 70, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 71 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78
Rnd3
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.
Pick85
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at the 106th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at No. 108 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They read the board right and Kevin Winston Jr. was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 13. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
No edge and no loss on Terrance Ferguson in the 119th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Quinn Ewers in No. 124, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Taking Jaylin Noel in pick No. 125 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 129 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
The board had Joshua Farmer higher than pick 132, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 136th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 142nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel slid further than he should have, and pick No. 143 is lovely value for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
A reasonable price with a little left over, Damien Martinez in the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Good price on Bhayshul Tuten in Round 5, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Brown at the 159th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
A big swing on Shaun Dolac at slot 162, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in No. 165, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nick Nash
They will replay Nick Nash at pick 168 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Cobee Bryant at the 175th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick176
Rnd5
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 176 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick No. 181 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Chase Lundt
The board fumbled Chase Lundt all the way to No. 185, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at Round 6, Pick 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
They reached a country mile for Thomas Fidone II at the 198th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
A reach for Carson Vinson in pick 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 208 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 216th 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.
Pick220
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in the 220th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick221
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
A clean, defensible pick in slot 221 with a little surplus value in Cam Horsley. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in No. 223, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
They barely believed it either: Zeek Biggers still on the board at pick No. 253. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
No drama and no debate, Maxen Hook went about where he belonged in the 256th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
