FutureC-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a C-. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shaun Dolac at the 160th overall pick regardless, 155 picks early.
Bowman Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mike Green
In No. 30 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea slid further than he should have, and slot 54 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in pick 78 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They let Tate Ratledge come to them and pounced at pick 85. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Tyleik Williams in the 87th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Fannin Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 94, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 104th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106
Rnd4
Deone Walker
They barely believed it either: Deone Walker still on the board at slot 106. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to Round 4, Pick 13, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118
Rnd4
Will Howard
A quiet steal in No. 118: Will Howard for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Value with a capital V on Lathan Ransom in slot 120, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 121st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 122nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 123 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke Kandra at pick No. 127. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Value said wait; Cobee Bryant in the 132nd overall pick says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick133
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
A premium they did not need to pay, Pat Bryant a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick No. 143 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
They reached into another round for Chase Lundt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at No. 156, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Williams this early at slot 158. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in the 160th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
David Bailey
David Bailey is a better player than Round 5, Pick 22 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 163rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at pick 165. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in slot 166 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.
Pick169
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
Somehow Shemar Turner was still sitting there in pick No. 169, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at No. 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at Round 6, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 183rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 192 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick194
Rnd6
Ricky White III
A conviction pick on Ricky White III at slot 194 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 199 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
Tim Smith
A wild overpay on Tim Smith in pick 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
