FutureC
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Tahj Washington. He came off 126 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The McConkey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 46, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 66th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Steal is underselling it; Bralen Trice at slot 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
Circle this one: Ladd McConkey at pick 82 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at slot 97. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 99 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at the 104th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in No. 117. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A reach on MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They paid a round early for Jordan Travis in the 120th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Chau Smith-Wade
A big swing on Chau Smith-Wade at Round 4, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick133
Rnd4
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 133 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A slide stopped in No. 153, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A reach for Roger Rosengarten in slot 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Value with a capital V on Frank Gore Jr. in the 188th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 193 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197
Rnd6
Trey Knox
A tidy bit of business in the 197th overall pick, where Trey Knox graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
Good price on JD Bertrand in pick No. 198, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Myles Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at Round 7, Pick 7 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
A real head-scratcher, Tahj Washington in the 235th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241
Rnd7
Carter Bradley
They talked themselves into Carter Bradley at pick No. 241, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
