FutureD-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Shaun Dolac at the Round 4 slot, roughly 186 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
However the rest shakes out, Kennard at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 26 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the 30th pick they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
A straight-up fair deal on Jaxson Dart at the 33rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at No. 34. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 35, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 45th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at pick No. 46, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at pick 49. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan Fairchild in slot 50, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 88. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 89th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They will replay Deone Walker at slot 90 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to pick 103, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They took Jordan Phillips at par in the 104th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They jumped the gun on Luke Kandra, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Charles Grant
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Charles Grant for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at No. 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than slot 120, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They went early on Aeneas Peebles in the 121st overall pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
A real head-scratcher, Shaun Dolac in the 123rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at No. 128 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Taking Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick No. 130 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 132 is lovely value for the safety. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jack Kiser
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kiser. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the 136th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They robbed the room for Terrance Ferguson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 138 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
