The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: A-. The war room fell hard for Keilan Robinson, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 22: 112 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Keon Coleman and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They liked Keon Coleman enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 2. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinyon Mitchell at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick37
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in No. 37, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick 40 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in pick No. 50; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Dorlus at No. 71, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A real head-scratcher, MarShawn Lloyd in the 72nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They did well to land Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 76, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick 79 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Circle this one: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 3, Pick 18 is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick83
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the 83rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Steal is underselling it; Zach Frazier at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in pick No. 86, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at slot 93 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Somehow Mike Sainristil was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick101
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in No. 105 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 109th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
They jumped the gun on McKinnley Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at the 112th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at Round 4, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in slot 118 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They robbed the room for Javon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A straight-up fair deal on Beaux Limmer at No. 123, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in the 127th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A tidy little value on Theo Johnson in pick No. 129, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Elijah Jones in pick 138, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash is a better player than the 140th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Javon Solomon
The board fumbled Javon Solomon all the way to Round 5, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick145
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A reach on Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, Pick 15; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 154 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 155 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tommy Eichenberg at the 156th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick 161 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Sione Vaki. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick164
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Nice patience on Isaiah Davis, who had no business lasting to the 164th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A premium they did not need to pay, Cody Schrader a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 176 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 179, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamal Hadden in the 180th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
The board had Jordan Travis higher than Round 6, Pick 6, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 186th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Lee this early at slot 187. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 189 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
They read the board right and Ty'Ron Hopper was the payoff at the 192nd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Khristian Boyd for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They paid a round early for Drake Nugent in the 194th pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach Round 6, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at pick 197, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 198 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A wild overpay on Jaden Crumedy in pick No. 199, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at pick No. 200, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Value said wait; Eric Watts in the 201st overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Johnson in pick 204 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 205th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at Round 6, Pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in No. 208, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Williams still on the board at slot 213. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid sticker price for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at the 221st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 222nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 7, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in pick No. 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
They paid up for Keaton Bills at No. 230 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 232 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
KT Leveston
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at the 248th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Good price on Josh Proctor in No. 249, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
They robbed the room for Jordan Magee here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson in pick 256 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
