The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C+. The Cardinals bet big and early on Shaun Dolac, 202 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick 24 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick27
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In slot 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in the 50th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Fair-plus on Elijah Arroyo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in pick No. 81, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard at No. 82 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 29. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tai Felton
By-the-book stuff, Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the 104th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Williams in the 118th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 119 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Good price on Anthony Belton in the 120th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in slot 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick123
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at Round 4, Pick 21 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They talked themselves into Logan Brown at pick 124, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James at pick 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in Round 4, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick130
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at the 135th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at slot 136 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick137
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in the 137th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139
Rnd5
Andrew Armstrong
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Armstrong well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaylin Lane
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jaylin Lane in pick 141, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in the 142nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at slot 143, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A big swing on Jonah Monheim at the 144th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in No. 159 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick 160 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in the 164th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at pick No. 165 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 166 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
A reach for Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 29; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
