Overall
B+

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Dart, and a B+, for the Cardinals. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent slot 78 on Shaun Dolac, a name the board had a full 231 spots lower. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Whatever Jaxson Dart becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 10 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Campbell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick14
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In slot 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 17 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In No. 18 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In the 19th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick23
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In No. 23 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
Fair-plus on Nick Emmanwori, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In the 25th pick they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In slot 26 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick 28 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They talked themselves into Jayden Higgins at slot 34, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at the 36th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick 37 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A reach for Alfred Collins in the 39th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
Mike Green
Mike Green at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 41 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Grey Zabel in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Demetrius Knight Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 70th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
By-the-book stuff, Jared Ivey at slot 73 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Azareye'h Thomas at Round 3, Pick 12 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick77
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
They reached a country mile for Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 77, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick78
Rnd3
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 78th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at slot 80. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in the 81st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Tory Horton
A wild overpay on Tory Horton in pick 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 87 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 24. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at pick No. 90, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in No. 92, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in slot 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Damien Martinez
They reached into another round for Damien Martinez, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Nick Nash
A real head-scratcher, Nick Nash in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in the 107th pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 4, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Williams. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 119th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They took Rylie Mills at par in pick No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at No. 132 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Circle this one: Savion Williams at slot 137 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
They talked themselves into RJ Harvey at Round 4, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
