FutureD-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shaun Dolac at No. 217 regardless, 120 picks early.
On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Mason Graham
They read the board right and Mason Graham was the payoff at the Round 1 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick33
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
The board had cheaper options than Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 15, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 52nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at the 54th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 55 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
No drama and no debate, Wyatt Milum went about where he belonged in No. 58. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
They robbed the room for Tyleik Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 82nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They jumped the gun on Terrance Ferguson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in slot 143, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They went early on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in slot 179, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 213th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
Value said wait; Shaun Dolac in the 217th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
