The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. Nobody else had Shaun Dolac anywhere near slot 143. The Cardinals did, by 194 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 16th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
Pick18
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the 18th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In pick 19 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
They read the board right and Wyatt Milum was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 15, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 103 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at pick No. 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
David Walker
They paid sticker price for David Walker in No. 105, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They took Billy Bowman Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Alexander in pick 107. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 117th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
A straight-up fair deal on Jamaree Caldwell at Round 4, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 129th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A swing that ignored the value entirely, O'Donnell Fortune well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in slot 133 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at pick 134. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
They reached a country mile for Willie Lampkin at Round 4, Pick 35, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Will Howard
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 139 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 140th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at slot 142 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at the 143rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Brown. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
