The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B-. The J.J. Weaver selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 106 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 22 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick29
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick 29 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In the 31st pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick37
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 5. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A big swing on Braden Fiske at slot 38, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at pick No. 47 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 50th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Haynes a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Brock Bowers
The board fumbled Brock Bowers all the way to slot 54, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in pick 61, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 62nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 63 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at No. 76 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 81 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
They went early on MarShawn Lloyd in pick 82, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Value said wait; Zak Zinter in the 84th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in No. 85, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They reached a country mile for Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 86, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Somehow Xavier Worthy was still sitting there in the 91st pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 92nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
A wild overpay on Dallin Holker in pick 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
A real head-scratcher, Mason McCormick in slot 115 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 4, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the 120th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at slot 129 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in the 142nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 149 with a little surplus value in Anthony Gould. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Layden Robinson this early at Round 5, Pick 14. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They paid sticker price for Sione Vaki in the 153rd pick, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They liked Cody Schrader enough to skip the value, taking him in the 158th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at pick 161 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at No. 162, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 191 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Mustapha in pick No. 194, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at pick 195, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 201 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at the 210th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in slot 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
No drama and no debate, Caedan Wallace went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at the 219th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick220
Rnd6
Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick 226 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in the 233rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Value with a capital V on Frank Gore Jr. in the 236th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Value said wait; Jawhar Jordan in No. 240 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Austin Reed
They reached a country mile for Austin Reed at pick No. 241, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 246 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keilan Robinson in Round 7, Pick 28, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
