FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent Round 4, Pick 28 on Shaun Dolac, a name the board had a full 208 spots lower.
Norman-Lott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Yaya Diaby gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the 27th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 28 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in No. 33 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
No edge and no loss on Grey Zabel in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Will Johnson
They barely believed it either: Will Johnson still on the board at the 38th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
A reach for Jordan Burch in slot 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 90th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to pick No. 96 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 97 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Value with a capital V on Shemar Turner in slot 98, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cody Simon
They reached into another round for Cody Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Omarr Norman-Lott
They robbed the room for Omarr Norman-Lott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
A real head-scratcher, Shaun Dolac in No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
