FutureC
The Cardinals reached for Crum and never recovered. Grade: F. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Crum at the 249th pick is 71 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. There is no dressing it up: a F.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. The Watson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 35 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
A slide stopped in pick No. 66, with Malachi Corley worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy bit of business in the 71st overall pick, where Kingsley Suamataia graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at Round 3, Pick 18 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Taking Kiran Amegadjie in slot 90 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A curious use of pick No. 105. Quarterback needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 2 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Good price on Beau Brade in the 144th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at the 148th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slid further than he should have, and No. 150 is lovely value for the cornerback. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161
Rnd5
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 161st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jalyx Hunt
They read the board right and Jalyx Hunt was the payoff at slot 181. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Eric Watts
A conviction pick on Eric Watts at the 188th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at pick No. 192. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
A big swing on Andrew Coker at No. 193, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington slipping to Round 6, Pick 26 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in pick 214 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They jumped the gun on Myles Cole, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kimani Vidal in slot 222, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Value said wait; Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 224 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
They took Keaton Bills at par in the 230th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 12, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
A real head-scratcher, Marcellas Dial in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 241st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at No. 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
They robbed the room for Frank Gore Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They reached a country mile for Decamerion Richardson at the 254th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick257
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin in pick No. 257 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.
