FutureD
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Shaun Dolac, taking him 162 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Cornelius at that price is a win they earned.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 48 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and the 49th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 55 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 64 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A slide stopped in No. 78, with Jaylin Noel worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 80 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Value with a capital V on Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 87, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 115th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in pick 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Fair-plus on Jamaree Caldwell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in No. 137, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at pick 152 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in slot 157 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A reach for Willie Lampkin in the 161st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick No. 169 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
CJ West
The board had cheaper options than CJ West at Round 5, Pick 34, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
A wild overpay on Shaun Dolac in the 175th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201
Rnd6
Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong in the 201st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Mac McWilliams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mac McWilliams well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 6, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 207 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper slipping to pick 209 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
