The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Nobody else had Shaun Dolac anywhere near the Round 5 slot. The Cardinals did, by 196 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 27 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Fair-plus on Derrick Harmon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at slot 34 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They liked Maxwell Hairston enough to skip the value, taking him in the 56th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60
Rnd2
Tre Harris
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in No. 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in pick No. 78. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Deone Walker
The board had Deone Walker higher than the 97th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba is a better player than the 101st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in No. 115, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in Round 4, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A big swing on Willie Lampkin at slot 121, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A reach on Rylie Mills in No. 123; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in Round 4, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Belton at pick 126. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 127 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at the 128th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 129th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 133 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at slot 139 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 140th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick No. 141 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kaimon Rucker
They went early on Kaimon Rucker in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 143rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A conviction pick on RJ Harvey at pick 148 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nice patience on Nick Nash, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 22. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West in slot 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They talked themselves into Vernon Broughton at pick No. 164, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
