FutureC-
The Cardinals let Paul fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Matthew Jones; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at the 224th overall pick. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
That Paul pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In pick 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Amarius Mims in No. 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in the 66th pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 7. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in pick No. 102, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 103rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in pick 105, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at slot 120 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A running back of that caliber at No. 121 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd5
Austin Booker
A big swing on Austin Booker at the 138th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 164 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in No. 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in pick 188 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at the 219th overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 2 is lovely value for the tight end. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Good price on Sam Hartman in pick No. 238, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Hunter Nourzad
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hunter Nourzad. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
