FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Cody Schrader, 79 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
Landing Bell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 1st overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick2
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 2nd pick they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 3 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 6 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Graham Barton
They liked Graham Barton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 17. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick18
Rnd1
Edgerrin Cooper
In the 18th pick they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection.
Pick27
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 34th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Nice patience on Cooper DeJean, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at slot 36 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Austin Booker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Austin Booker this early at pick 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Haynes a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Nate Wiggins, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick54
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 54th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
They jumped the gun on Michael Hall Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58
Rnd2
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 58th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cole Bishop
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Cole Bishop in the 59th pick leaves quarterback for later.
Pick60
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A clean, defensible pick in No. 60 with a little surplus value in Zach Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in slot 62, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 67th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 69, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A conviction pick on Malik Washington at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 10, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 75th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82
Rnd3
Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 85th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andru Phillips adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick92
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick 92, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 94 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.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jarvis Brownlee Jr. while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick100
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They went early on DeWayne Carter in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in the 103rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Cowing in pick 104, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in pick No. 106. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A real head-scratcher, Bucky Irving in the 107th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cade Stover
They barely believed it either: Cade Stover still on the board at slot 109. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in Round 4, Pick 10 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Malik Mustapha
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 16. Quarterback needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 117th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 118th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 121 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They reached a country mile for Anthony Gould at No. 122, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Caelen Carson at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
A want over a need in slot 125: Kamren Kinchens adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in the 127th overall pick, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamari Thrash. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd5
Erick All
They let Erick All come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
By-the-book stuff, Beaux Limmer at pick 140 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Josh Newton
They paid sticker price for Josh Newton in No. 142, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in pick No. 143, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A straight-up fair deal on Tanor Bortolini at the 144th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They paid a round early for Walter Rouse in pick No. 146, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
No drama and no debate, Trevor Keegan went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 15. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Decamerion Richardson
A reach on Decamerion Richardson in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at pick 155 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162
Rnd5
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at No. 162 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 164th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Beau Brade
A slide stopped in the 166th overall pick, with Beau Brade worth more than the price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick167
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They did well to land AJ Barner in slot 167, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
A reach on Nathan Thomas in slot 180; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 181, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A wild overpay on Jaden Crumedy in the 182nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 186th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They paid up for Nathaniel Watson at No. 187 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in pick No. 188 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They talked themselves into JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 15, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Marist Liufau in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193
Rnd6

Fabien Lovett is a better player than pick No. 193 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197
Rnd6

Pick225
Rnd7
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 225th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Steal is underselling it; Curtis Jacobs at the 226th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A big swing on Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 231, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234
Rnd7
