FutureA-
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Nix: D. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Jaheim Bell, taking him 38 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They have staked the next five years on Bo Nix, which is the only story that really matters here. They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick 30 they get their guy under center for the next decade. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Braswell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 71st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 72nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at pick 97, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at slot 104 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the 111th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than No. 133, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick140
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Good price on Malik Mustapha in pick No. 140, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Williams reach No. 217 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
A clean, defensible pick in pick 225 with a little surplus value in Steele Chambers. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They let Darius Muasau come to them and pounced at the 227th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Rondell Bothroyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rondell Bothroyd. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
