FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Andrew Coker a full 99 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The Harris pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The veteran additions, Darius Slayton chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton is a better player than Round 2, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in pick 49; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Fair-plus on Adisa Isaac, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at pick No. 62. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
DJ James
DJ James at slot 63 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 64th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A tidy little value on Zach Frazier in pick No. 66, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Haynes in pick 68. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in No. 71 with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at Round 3, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Renardo Green
They took Renardo Green at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 77th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81
Rnd3
Max Melton
They did well to land Max Melton in slot 81, just ahead of his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick82
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They paid a round early for MarShawn Lloyd in slot 82, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 90 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
They barely believed it either: Kingsley Suamataia still on the board at Round 3, Pick 30. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 95, where Dadrion Taylor-Demerson graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick96
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Circle this one: Austin Booker at the 96th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in No. 101. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at the 102nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominick Puni at pick No. 103 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in the 106th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Javon Baker
The board had Javon Baker higher than the 108th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 9. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Davis a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Value with a capital V on Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 15, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Will Shipley
They read the board right and Will Shipley was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at the 132nd overall pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Coleman in No. 134, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in pick 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
They liked Isaiah Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 143rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Nice patience on Beau Brade, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in slot 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 146 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 150 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A quiet steal in No. 152: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick154
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 154th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Brennan Jackson in pick 155, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the 156th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 22 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at No. 159 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A reach on Layden Robinson in pick No. 160; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in slot 161, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the 163rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They jumped the gun on Grayson Murphy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 169 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
Nothing to complain about; Nelson Ceaser went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at slot 172 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
They talked themselves into Gabe Hall at pick No. 173, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Value said wait; Andrew Coker in No. 181 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Raym this early at the 182nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Somehow Sione Vaki was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick186
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 6, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at pick 187, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at pick No. 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
They will replay Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick190
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in slot 190, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 193rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 194th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in the 196th overall pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Crumedy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Harris at No. 201 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jawhar Jordan. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6

They reached a country mile for KT Leveston at pick 204, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205
Rnd6
C.J. Hanson

Pick206
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at the 206th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Josiah Ezirim
A wild overpay on Josiah Ezirim in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
The board fumbled Fabien Lovett all the way to pick 212, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Taking Myles Cole in pick No. 219 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
No edge and no loss on Jordan Magee in the 221st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A conviction pick on Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 222nd pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 225 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at Round 7, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick227
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 7 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 228. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick 234 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Eric Watts

Pick240
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
They paid sticker price for Marcellas Dial in slot 240, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jared Wiley
A tight end of that caliber at the 252nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin in pick No. 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
