The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Shaun Dolac, 198 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That Grant pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Henry To'oTo'o pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 26th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to slot 45, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick 48 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 51st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in No. 65 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 72 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Nice patience on Carson Schwesinger, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Steal is underselling it; Cameron Williams at slot 96 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Will Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Will Howard at Round 4, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They paid sticker price for Tory Horton in pick No. 104, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
Value said wait; Kyle Williams in the 105th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at slot 107 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in No. 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in Cody Simon. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at pick 140, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
