The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Decamerion Richardson at Round 3, Pick 37 regardless, 74 picks early.
However the rest shakes out, Rice at that price is a win they earned. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick 4 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick6
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 6 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 7th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 8th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In slot 9 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In No. 10 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In pick No. 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In the 19th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaylen Wright
In slot 27 they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Trey Benson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Benson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A slide stopped in the 34th pick, with Brian Thomas Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid a round early for Malachi Corley in pick 36, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Keon Coleman at pick 37, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
A tidy bit of business in the 39th overall pick, where Nate Wiggins graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick40
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Renardo Green
This one needs a full-page explanation: Renardo Green in the 43rd pick, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick44
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at No. 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick47
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
They read the board right and Kris Jenkins was the payoff at No. 66. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Value with a capital V on Adisa Isaac in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 68th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Austin Booker
By-the-book stuff, Austin Booker at Round 3, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 70 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 71 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in the 74th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Morgan in slot 75, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
The board fumbled Christian Haynes all the way to pick No. 78, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at No. 79 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Washington at the 80th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 90 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
They reached into another round for Decamerion Richardson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick101
Rnd4
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 101st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
Somehow Brandon Dorlus was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at the 104th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A quiet steal in pick No. 105: Dominick Puni for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A market-rate OLB-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Solomon. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at slot 109, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in pick 122 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in Round 5, Pick 1, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They robbed the room for Johnny Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in slot 139 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in pick No. 140 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick143
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They talked themselves into AJ Barner at the 143rd pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
A conviction pick on Trevor Keegan at No. 146 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 162nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
They took McKinnley Jackson at par in slot 166, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at No. 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edefuan Ulofoshio this early at the 181st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
You do not let a wide receiver like Jamari Thrash reach pick No. 182 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Circle this one: Dallin Holker at pick 186 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 12. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A big swing on Eric Watts at the 193rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They left a pile of value on the table to take JD Bertrand this early at Round 6, Pick 22. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in No. 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
A reach for Jacob Monk in the 222nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Murphy well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 231 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 7, Pick 22. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Steal is underselling it; Darius Muasau at No. 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
They reached a country mile for X'Zauvea Gadlin at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
