A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Shaun Dolac; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 183 spots ahead at No. 126.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Winston Jr.. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 27 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick28
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Nothing to complain about; Jack Sawyer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They reached into another round for Maxwell Hairston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in pick No. 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in No. 61. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 62 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slipping to Round 3, Pick 1 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 68th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Tyleik Williams reach the 69th pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
They barely believed it either: T.J. Sanders still on the board at the 71st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick No. 72 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
They will replay Azareye'h Thomas at Round 4, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick117
Rnd4
Charles Grant
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Charles Grant in No. 117, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Kyle Kennard
The board fumbled Kyle Kennard all the way to pick 121, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tory Horton at the 124th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They read the board right and Billy Bowman Jr. was the payoff at pick 125. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick126
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick No. 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They robbed the room for Jordan Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in slot 157, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158
Rnd5
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 158th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Connor Colby
A reach for Connor Colby in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at Round 6, Pick 5 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190
Rnd6
Chimere Dike
A reach on Chimere Dike in No. 190; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195
Rnd6
Trey Wedig
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Wedig this early at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at No. 199 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 207 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick 209 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 214 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 235th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Value with a capital V on Jabbar Muhammad in Round 7, Pick 21, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Taking Zeek Biggers in the 250th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
