Larceny in No. 224 lands the Cardinals a B+, Gore Jr. and all. The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Frank Gore Jr., the No. 177 name on the board, sitting there at the 224th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 20 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 1, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They reached a country mile for Roman Wilson at the 49th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 66 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at pick No. 71, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slid further than he should have, and No. 80 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 5, with Cade Stover worth more than the price. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to No. 116 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 120 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd5
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 137th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Austin Booker
They paid up for Austin Booker at pick 148 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 175th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 188 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Nice patience on Eric Watts, who had no business lasting to No. 206. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
Value with a capital V on Austin Stogner in slot 222, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 224 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax in the 235th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Logue this early at Round 7, Pick 26. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
No edge and no loss on Nathaniel Watson in the 252nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
