FutureD
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B-. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 220th overall pick on Jawhar Jordan a full 59 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
On value alone, Ford makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The veteran additions, Dawson Knox chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Joe Alt
A slide stopped in No. 14, with Joe Alt worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick18
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 18th overall pick they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 26 they get a true top target, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick39
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at pick 43. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They jumped the gun on Malachi Corley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the 60th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 71st pick with a little surplus value in Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in No. 80, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They paid sticker price for Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 81, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They talked themselves into Mekhi Wingo at pick 84, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Hall Jr. at slot 90. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 91st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 93 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 104 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They paid a round early for Beaux Limmer in slot 118, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in No. 120 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Eichenberg well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at the 128th pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Beau Brade
No drama and no debate, Beau Brade went about where he belonged in the 129th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick134
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They paid up for Anthony Gould at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A big swing on Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in pick 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A tidy little value on Roger Rosengarten in the 142nd pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at the 144th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 14 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in slot 157, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Delmar Glaze. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They liked Grayson Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 161. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Rogers this early at the 162nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sione Vaki in Round 5, Pick 35. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick172
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse slid further than he should have, and the 172nd pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in pick No. 178 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
A quiet steal in slot 180: Jordan Travis for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick 184 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in No. 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 195, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in slot 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 225th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
KT Leveston
A conviction pick on KT Leveston at pick No. 226 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 236th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A reach for C.J. Hanson in Round 7, Pick 32; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
