FutureD
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Shaun Dolac a full 200 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
However the rest shakes out, Loveland at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The veteran additions, Alec Pierce chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
No edge and no loss on Jack Sawyer in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick28
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jayden Higgins
In No. 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and pick 33 is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maxwell Hairston this early at the 39th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58
Rnd2
Will Howard
Will Howard at pick 58 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in slot 69 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick No. 73 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 77th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A wild overpay on Cam Skattebo in No. 79, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 80 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tai Felton
No drama and no debate, Tai Felton went about where he belonged in pick 95. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lathan Ransom in No. 108. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 109th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 113 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 4, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 115th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A reach on Rylie Mills in the 121st pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Value with a capital V on Xavier Restrepo in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in slot 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
