FutureD
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The war room fell hard for Shaun Dolac, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 14: 133 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mukuba. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The veteran additions, Eric Stokes chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In slot 24 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In pick 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all.
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In pick No. 26 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the 28th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 29th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Maxwell Hairston
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In No. 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 1. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Ezeiruaku this early at the 34th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
A reach for Bradyn Swinson in slot 45; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick No. 46, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick47
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aeneas Peebles in the 47th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 55th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach the 56th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Darien Porter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darien Porter well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in slot 67, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at pick No. 89, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaimon Rucker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 4, Pick 2, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 105th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 111 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at Round 4, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Belton at slot 121. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at pick 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Nice patience on Billy Bowman Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 123. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 124th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
Shaun Dolac
A big swing on Shaun Dolac at the 190th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at slot 198 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
They talked themselves into Jabbar Muhammad at pick 199, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
Chimere Dike
They took Chimere Dike at par in the 209th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
