The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. Nobody had Shaun Dolac this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 114 spots to get him at the 225th overall pick.
That Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 25th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker is a better player than pick No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick42
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 42 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in Round 3, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 69 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at slot 73 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
They barely believed it either: Jalen Royals still on the board at pick 80. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Will Howard
They liked Will Howard enough to skip the value, taking him in the 85th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 89th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at No. 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
They will replay Maxwell Hairston at Round 4, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 111th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Taking Savion Williams in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in No. 115 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 116, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cameron Williams
You do not let an offensive lineman like Cameron Williams reach pick No. 117 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Somehow Xavier Restrepo was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A slide stopped in pick No. 152, with Logan Brown worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
A wild overpay on Jack Kiser in pick 161, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They did well to land Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 184th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 225th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
They paid up for Zeek Biggers at slot 236 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
