FutureC+
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The Cardinals bet big and early on Jarrett Kingston, 76 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 11th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They did well to land Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 35, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A reach on Braden Fiske in pick No. 41; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 52nd pick, where Ennis Rakestraw Jr. graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 65. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They will replay Roman Wilson at pick 66 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than Round 3, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They went early on Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 71 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at the 80th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at slot 93 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 97th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in the 101st pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104
Rnd4
Maason Smith
They paid a round early for Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at pick 110, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DeWayne Carter in the 112th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Malik Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Malik Washington in slot 123, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamal Hadden this early at No. 126. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick127
Rnd4
Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jamari Thrash at the 145th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in slot 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the 154th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They paid up for Malik Mustapha at pick No. 161 when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick162
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
A reach for Javion Cohen in pick 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
A conviction pick on Cody Schrader at pick No. 166 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Grayson Murphy at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at Round 5, Pick 39 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 181st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at slot 183 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in pick 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Trente Jones in the 188th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at the 196th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at pick 202 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Good price on Myles Cole in slot 203, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All at Round 6, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
They reached a country mile for Kimani Vidal at the 207th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Value said wait; Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 208 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than slot 214, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
Value with a capital V on Tanner McLachlan in the 219th pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223
Rnd7
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui slipping to Round 7, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 224th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick No. 226 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 227 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston at No. 237 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 238th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in pick 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in Round 7, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 243 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
They talked themselves into C.J. Hanson at the 245th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jarrett Kingston in the 248th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Nice patience on Donovan Jennings, who had no business lasting to pick No. 252. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
