The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the Round 4 slot on Jawhar Jordan, a name the board had a full 148 spots lower.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McMillan. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Value said wait; Braden Fiske in No. 16 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick17
Rnd1

Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 3, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A reach on Xavier Legette in No. 36; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37
Rnd2

A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Trey Benson

Pick39
Rnd2

Pick40
Rnd2

Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They paid sticker price for Tyler Nubin in No. 42, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick43
Rnd2

The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ruke Orhorhoro. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44
Rnd2

Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 47th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 48th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Hall Jr. this early at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Tommy Eichenberg
They talked themselves into Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 66, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.

Pick74
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Somehow Tyler Guyton was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 10, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 75th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3

Pick80
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at pick No. 80 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at No. 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 90 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick101
Rnd4

Pick103
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They talked themselves into Leonard Taylor III at slot 103, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4

Pick105
Rnd4

Pick111
Rnd4

Pick115
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in No. 115, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 120 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick121

AJ Barner
They reached into another round for AJ Barner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dallin Holker

Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at pick No. 126. A need, and now a little less of one.

Rnd4
Jawhar Jordan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129

Pick138
Rnd5

Pick225
