The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C+. The war room fell hard for Keilan Robinson, and it showed at the 169th overall pick: 140 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.
Landing Worthy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 27th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick30
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 30 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in slot 43, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at the 46th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A reach on Malachi Corley in pick No. 49; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in Round 2, Pick 28 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.
Pick64
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They liked Renardo Green enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
They barely believed it either: T'Vondre Sweat still on the board at slot 71. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in the 75th pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 76th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A reach for MarShawn Lloyd in Round 3, Pick 16; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
The board had Kiran Amegadjie higher than pick 81, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 84 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in No. 87, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at pick No. 88 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 89th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Taking Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
The board fumbled Kingsley Suamataia all the way to the 93rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Value with a capital V on Brandon Dorlus in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They took DeWayne Carter at par in Round 3, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
A slide stopped in No. 101, with Gabriel Murphy worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 105 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at pick 106, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Gould in slot 108 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
They talked themselves into Jacob Cowing at the 111th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They let Cole Bishop come to them and pounced at pick No. 114. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 115th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalyx Hunt this early at Round 4, Pick 18. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III is a better player than the 120th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
A wild overpay on Mason McCormick in slot 121, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves slid further than he should have, and pick 126 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in No. 127, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at No. 129, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
They reached into another round for Brennan Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brandon Coleman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 134th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at slot 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in pick No. 143 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at pick 146. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5

Pick158
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson

Pick159
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 159th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in the 161st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 162 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Keilan Robinson
A big swing on Keilan Robinson at pick 169, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value said wait; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 171 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5

Pick178
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in pick 178 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor slipping to slot 184 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186

Nice patience on Grayson Murphy, who had no business lasting to No. 186. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
Somehow Jordan Travis was still sitting there in pick No. 191, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick203
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A linebacker of that caliber at the 203rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217

Pick220

Pick236
Rnd7
