Overall

TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B-. Some picks age like wine; Shaun Dolac at Round 6, Pick 32 will need to, sitting 131 spots clear of his grade.
Getting Sampson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Adding Danielle Hunter by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
They barely believed it either: Abdul Carter still on the board at slot 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick27
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick28
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In No. 28 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 32 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at the 86th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They robbed the room for Elic Ayomanor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Will Howard
By-the-book stuff, Will Howard at slot 95 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
Steal is underselling it; Bradyn Swinson at Round 3, Pick 32 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 99 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 101st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
A quiet steal in the 103rd pick: Jaylin Noel for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at No. 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 113 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114
Rnd4
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips is a better player than Round 4, Pick 16 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They let Tory Horton come to them and pounced at pick 123. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They jumped the gun on Aeneas Peebles, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach pick 132 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in No. 134 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in the 141st overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Baron at slot 149, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 5, Pick 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick No. 165 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in the 168th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 169th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in the 170th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick No. 173 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
They reached a country mile for Cam Jackson at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Good price on Raheim Sanders in slot 179, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
A conviction pick on Tyler Cooper at pick 180 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Que Robinson
No drama and no debate, Que Robinson went about where he belonged in No. 181. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
The board fumbled Ajani Cornelius all the way to Round 6, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ahmed Hassanein
A wild overpay on Ahmed Hassanein in pick 206, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in pick No. 208 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at the 210th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ricky White III
They took Ricky White III at par in No. 213, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They paid up for Carson Vinson at slot 215 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
