The Cardinals found their guy under center in Dart: B. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Shaun Dolac, taking him 197 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They banked enough surplus on Loveland to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the 20th pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 21 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
Fair-plus on Josh Simmons, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early.
Pick24
Rnd1
Maxwell Hairston
In pick No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick25
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matthew Golden at the Round 1 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a long-term answer under center, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the 29th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to the 34th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mike Green
Value with a capital V on Mike Green in slot 36, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A conviction pick on Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 46 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick66
Rnd3
Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A big swing on Cam Skattebo at No. 73, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in the 82nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the 93rd pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in slot 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at the 107th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in the 108th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick No. 111 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 125, where Billy Bowman Jr. graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cobee Bryant in Round 4, Pick 27. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jordan James
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan James at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A real head-scratcher, Willie Lampkin in No. 134 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139
Rnd5
CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They talked themselves into Kyle Williams at pick No. 141, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 142nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
