FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thomas Fidone II at slot 132 is 225 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The Barron pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 8 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 47 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 79 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 80th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick No. 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick100
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and the 100th pick is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
By-the-book stuff, Cam Skattebo at slot 101 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
Will Howard
Will Howard at Round 4, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 108th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in pick 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
They talked themselves into Pat Bryant at No. 114, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bhayshul Tuten in pick 115, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at pick No. 116. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Nothing to complain about; Joshua Farmer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A reach for Cody Simon in Round 4, Pick 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Billy Bowman Jr.. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick123
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
The board had Luke Kandra higher than No. 123, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A tidy bit of business in the 124th overall pick, where Anthony Belton graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at slot 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 126th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Lundt well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Nick Nash
The board had cheaper options than Nick Nash at pick 129, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at No. 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Nice patience on Terrance Ferguson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 131. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in slot 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in Round 4, Pick 32 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 33: Shemar Turner for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick No. 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 139th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 145 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
