FutureC-
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 227 on Tahj Washington a full 134 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The McMillan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
The veteran additions, Myles Garrett chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner is a better player than No. 27 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at the 35th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A reach for Christian Haynes in slot 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
A conviction pick on Braden Fiske at pick 71 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They read the board right and Malachi Corley was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 104 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 4, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chau Smith-Wade well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Austin Booker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Austin Booker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They let Jordan Travis come to them and pounced at the 151st overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They went early on Cody Schrader in pick No. 152, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 173, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at slot 176, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brevyn Spann-Ford this early at pick 188. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick No. 192 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick196
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at the 196th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tahj Washington in No. 227, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 7, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254
Rnd7
Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley at pick 254 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
