Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Shaun Dolac, 184 picks early at the 139th overall pick.
Trapilo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Mike Evans leading the way.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In slot 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than the 36th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A real head-scratcher, Jayden Higgins in pick No. 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
Fair-plus on Landon Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A tidy little value on Aireontae Ersery in slot 51, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
A conviction pick on Carson Schwesinger at No. 52 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 78 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3
Will Howard
They liked Will Howard enough to skip the value, taking him in the 85th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ty Robinson
They reached a country mile for Ty Robinson at the 97th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
A premium they did not need to pay, Denzel Burke a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
They paid up for Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 99 when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 3, Pick 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Savion Williams
The board had Savion Williams higher than the 103rd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick105
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at slot 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tai Felton at the 106th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick113
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slipping to No. 113 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 115 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at the 119th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
They talked themselves into Tyler Baron at the 120th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Que Robinson
Que Robinson in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They robbed the room for Jordan Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
A reach on Aeneas Peebles in Round 4, Pick 26; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 129, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to pick 131, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Somehow Tory Horton was still sitting there in the 132nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They paid a round early for Logan Brown in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shaun Dolac in the 139th pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 141 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
