FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. The war room fell hard for Thomas Fidone II, and it showed at the 132nd pick: 225 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Landing Mukuba that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the 38th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 50 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in the 51st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 63 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Deone Walker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They liked Cam Skattebo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 82. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A reach on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 89th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in the 91st overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Will Howard
The board had cheaper options than Will Howard at slot 94, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
A reach for Jordan Phillips in the 100th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 4, Pick 3 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 105 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick No. 106 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Billy Bowman Jr.. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in Round 4, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
No drama and no debate, Terrance Ferguson went about where he belonged in No. 118. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to the 119th pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick125
Rnd4
Logan Brown
A real head-scratcher, Logan Brown in slot 125 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Robinson in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Damien Martinez
A wild overpay on Damien Martinez in pick 127, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
They reached into another round for Bhayshul Tuten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Thomas Fidone II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thomas Fidone II. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 134 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd4
Nick Nash
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at the 137th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
