FutureB+
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Shaun Dolac, 177 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
Neal falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
So much rides on Wyatt Milum that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
No drama and no debate, Wyatt Milum went about where he belonged in slot 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at Round 2, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 65 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in the 78th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to the 79th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They jumped the gun on Charles Grant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
No edge and no loss on Aeneas Peebles in Round 3, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Kandra in the 87th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 88 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They read the board right and Carson Schwesinger was the payoff at slot 97. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at the 106th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Cam Skattebo. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the 113th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
A wild overpay on Chase Lundt in No. 114, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 118 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
They liked Shemar Turner enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 120. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A quiet steal in pick 123: Lathan Ransom for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at the 124th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at the 125th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 126 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Rylie Mills a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128
Rnd4
Tyler Cooper
Value said wait; Tyler Cooper in No. 128 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Connor Colby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Connor Colby this early at the 129th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in pick No. 133 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Davin Vann
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davin Vann well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tai Felton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tai Felton reach No. 136 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
They reached a country mile for Shaun Dolac at the 138th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They let Terrance Ferguson come to them and pounced at slot 139. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142
Rnd5
Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 143 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 144th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick146
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in No. 146 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ricky White III
A big swing on Ricky White III at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
They reached into another round for RJ Harvey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
