FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Kevin Jennings, 87 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Schwesinger at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Mike Green
In No. 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Value said wait; Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 47 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 14 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at the 123rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at pick 124 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
They robbed the room for Carson Schwesinger here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 159th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A real head-scratcher, Willie Lampkin in No. 160 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in pick No. 161, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick162
Rnd5
Kevin Jennings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach slot 166 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They reached a country mile for Kyle Williams at the 169th pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at the 177th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
They reached into another round for Shaun Dolac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
