The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The war room fell hard for Shaun Dolac, and it showed at No. 129: 210 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
Landing Walker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In No. 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In pick 21 they get a wrecking ball inside, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In the 23rd overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
Good price on Nick Emmanwori in the 27th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick28
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick29
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at slot 44, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Shemar Turner
A real head-scratcher, Shemar Turner in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in the 47th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick53
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 53rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in pick No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Skattebo well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 72nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at slot 95. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Milroe. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They will replay Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 102 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Darien Porter
They barely believed it either: Darien Porter still on the board at slot 103. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 104th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
No drama and no debate, Billy Bowman Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 111. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick115
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 115th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A straight-up fair deal on Rylie Mills at slot 127, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
The board fumbled Xavier Restrepo all the way to the 128th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at Round 4, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
Value said wait; Jabbar Muhammad in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
