FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Keilan Robinson at Round 6, Pick 6 is 99 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
The Davis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick34
Rnd2
Max Melton
They reached into another round for Max Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at slot 35, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36

The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Benson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roger Rosengarten this early at Round 2, Pick 5. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than No. 38, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 44th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid a round early for Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 47, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick58
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in Round 2, Pick 26 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 59 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A conviction pick on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick65
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
A tidy bit of business in No. 65, where Adisa Isaac graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Somehow Graham Barton was still sitting there in slot 66, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A reach on Malik Washington in pick 70; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71

Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 75th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They barely believed it either: Junior Colson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A wild overpay on Javon Solomon in the 78th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in slot 80, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3

Brandon Coleman
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Coleman a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at slot 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick99
Rnd3
Elijah Jones
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in the 99th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.

Pick103
