Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Tyreak Sapp, 145 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
That Taylor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at pick No. 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick16
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Mason Graham at the 16th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick20
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
No drama and no debate, Landon Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 22. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick24
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In slot 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Sawyer at Round 2, Pick 2. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in the 36th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A big swing on Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
A reach on Zy Alexander in pick 49; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at pick No. 51. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
They took Dylan Fairchild at par in Round 2, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A clean, defensible pick in the 58th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tyleik Williams. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62
Rnd2
Armand Membou
They paid sticker price for Armand Membou in No. 62, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at slot 67. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They liked Tez Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 12. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 78, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 80 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They reached a country mile for Cam Skattebo at pick No. 85, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
They jumped the gun on Luke Kandra, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Savion Williams
A conviction pick on Savion Williams at the 94th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in slot 97 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in slot 103 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in the 105th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick118
Rnd4
David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tyreak Sapp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyreak Sapp in the 120th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 121 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kurtis Rourke
The board had cheaper options than Kurtis Rourke at pick 124, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at pick 128, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 138 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141
Rnd5
Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in pick No. 141 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at Round 5, Pick 5 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in slot 148, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 151st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 160th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 161st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Howard Cross III for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Willie Lampkin. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in Round 5, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 168 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at pick No. 169 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in No. 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 36 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Nice patience on Simeon Barrow Jr., who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177
Rnd6
Addison West
A straight-up fair deal on Addison West at the 177th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Fair-plus on Cobee Bryant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick179
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 179 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick No. 180 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 186 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Brashard Smith
Somehow Brashard Smith was still sitting there in the 189th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Campbell a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben at Round 6, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
Value said wait; Jamaree Caldwell in No. 214 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 215 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 221 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
They reached a country mile for Phillip Webb at the 223rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Mays well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tyler Cooper
A big swing on Tyler Cooper at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Taking Kaden Prather in the 256th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
