FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Cody Schrader at the 123rd pick, roughly 49 spots before his name belonged.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Legette. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The Sainristil pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and linebacker still on the board. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 3. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 38th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinyon Mitchell at pick 48 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Value with a capital V on Bralen Trice in slot 52, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Taking Xavier Legette in the 66th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in No. 79, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than pick No. 84 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 105th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker to take Mike Sainristil, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They will replay Dominick Puni at slot 121 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at pick 137 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 143 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in the 148th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 184 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick222
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
Circle this one: Marcellas Dial at No. 222 is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224
Rnd7
Michael Wiley
Michael Wiley at the 224th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at pick 225 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
