FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Keilan Robinson. He came off 154 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick4
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A reach for Quinyon Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 4; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick7
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1

Pick22
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 22nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at Round 1, Pick 23 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick25
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1

Pick34
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
A quiet steal in slot 34: Byron Murphy II for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Value with a capital V on Chop Robinson in pick 37, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 39th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at the 40th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 13 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at No. 46. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Circle this one: Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
A wild overpay on Mike Sainristil in No. 49, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick50
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at slot 50, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick52
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They barely believed it either: Nate Wiggins still on the board at pick 53. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick55
Rnd2
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 55 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
They reached into another round for Mekhi Wingo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 60th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 29 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Austin Booker
The board had cheaper options than Austin Booker at pick 63, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64
Rnd2
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 64 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach slot 78 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 82nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83

Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 83 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus slid further than he should have, and No. 95 is lovely value for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 100th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick101
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
A straight-up fair deal on DeWayne Carter at pick No. 101, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in pick 103 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 4, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106
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.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Travis in the 107th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Solomon

Pick120
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 120th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 22 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They talked themselves into Jacob Cowing at No. 124, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Hall well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 133 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sione Vaki well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick137
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in the 137th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd5

Value said wait; Tahj Washington in pick 142 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson

Pick152
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal

Pick154
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan

Pick166
Rnd5

Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169

Pick170
Rnd5

A reach on Fabien Lovett in pick No. 170; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
