The Capehart reach set a tone the Cardinals could not shake: F. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for DeMonte Capehart. He came off 69 spots early, and the room will hear about it. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Pearl pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Cardinals indulged a want in Brownlee Jr. while a need in quarterback stayed open.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 10 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 27, where Dallas Turner graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 45th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than the 55th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They went early on Braden Fiske in pick 66, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 71st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in No. 90, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 97 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick112
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 12, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DeWayne Carter in the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the 126th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 137 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Nice patience on Jalyx Hunt, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 6. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick149
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick No. 149 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 150 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
Renardo Green
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Renardo Green. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick160
Rnd5
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 167th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in Round 5, Pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in the 178th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 188th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 189 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Aki Ogunbiyi
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in No. 203; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207
Rnd6
Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick 207 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in pick 208 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in No. 222 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 230th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
The board fumbled Julian Pearl all the way to slot 239, and they scooped it up. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Brian Ugwu
No drama and no debate, Brian Ugwu went about where he belonged in the 241st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in pick No. 244 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They did well to land Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 7, Pick 33, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin at Round 7, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They paid up for Nathaniel Watson at slot 257 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
