FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Maiava. Final grade: B+. The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jayden Maiava, the No. 46 name on the board, in the 89th pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The cost of the Bisontis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate slipping to the 33rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They paid sticker price for Jake Slaughter in pick No. 34, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kamari Ramsey
They paid up for Kamari Ramsey at pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick37
Rnd2
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kayden McDonald in Round 2, Pick 6. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
They let Jonah Coleman come to them and pounced at slot 65. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
Value with a capital V on Elijah Sarratt in the 66th pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zion Young
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Young. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Circle this one: Dontay Corleone at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in the 89th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at pick 92 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
They reached into another round for D'Angelo Ponds, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Klare
They will replay Max Klare at the 95th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
