Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The war room fell hard for Logan Lee, and it showed at pick No. 99: 143 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
They banked enough surplus on Taylor-Demerson to cover a lot of smaller sins. 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. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 9th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In No. 18 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick19
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at the Round 1 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick21
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 21 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In pick No. 22 they get a wrecking ball inside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick23
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in No. 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick25
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In slot 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In slot 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Ricky Pearsall
In pick No. 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In pick 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 31st pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 32nd overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at No. 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at slot 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick37
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached into another round for Renardo Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in the 38th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at the 39th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in No. 41, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in pick No. 42; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 43 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 44th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in slot 52, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They will replay J.J. McCarthy at the 53rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54
Rnd2
Michael Hall Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Hall Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 56 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 57 is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick58
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at pick No. 59 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in the 60th overall pick: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adisa Isaac in the 61st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Austin Booker
No drama and no debate, Austin Booker went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 1. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
Circle this one: Jordan Morgan at slot 66 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Somehow Xavier Worthy was still sitting there in No. 67, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at Round 3, Pick 4. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They did well to land Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in pick 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Decamerion Richardson
Value said wait; Decamerion Richardson in pick No. 72 says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarvis Brownlee Jr.. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at the 75th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at the 76th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Isaiah Adams
They talked themselves into Isaiah Adams at the 78th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 79, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Benson in No. 81. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
A reach for MarShawn Lloyd in pick 82; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
No edge and no loss on Jonah Elliss in slot 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They jumped the gun on Mekhi Wingo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 90th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabriel Murphy a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at pick 94 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 98th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99
Rnd3
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 99 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brennan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to Round 4, Pick 2, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick105
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They reached into another round for Jalyx Hunt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in No. 107, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 109th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
AJ Barner
They left a pile of value on the table to take AJ Barner this early at the 112th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 118, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at Round 4, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the 122nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick124
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They barely believed it either: Matt Goncalves still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at pick No. 125, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Caedan Wallace
The board had cheaper options than Caedan Wallace at the 126th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at pick 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A wild overpay on McKinnley Jackson in No. 131, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at slot 132 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Jefferson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A big swing on Braiden McGregor at Round 5, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Wilson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140
Rnd5
Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than pick 140, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 142 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 143, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A real head-scratcher, Nelson Ceaser in slot 145 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jaden Crumedy
Value said wait; Jaden Crumedy in the 147th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152
Rnd5
Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached a country mile for Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 154, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt is a better player than pick 155 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at the 156th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A wild overpay on Grayson Murphy in Round 5, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Delmar Glaze well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathan Thomas. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in No. 162, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer slipping to slot 164 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 176, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They paid sticker price for Chau Smith-Wade in the 179th pick, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick180
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
They took Sione Vaki at par in pick 180, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ainias Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like Ainias Smith reach No. 181 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tahj Washington. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
They liked Javion Cohen enough to skip the value, taking him in the 183rd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 184 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A conviction pick on Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 185th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
They robbed the room for Trevin Wallace here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick No. 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
A real head-scratcher, Myles Murphy in pick 191 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 192 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
You do not let a tight end like Jared Wiley reach the 193rd overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196
Rnd6
Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 196 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick No. 197 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Taking Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at the 200th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
James Williams
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to pick 206, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
Somehow Jordan Travis was still sitting there in slot 209, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Fabien Lovett in pick 211, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213
Rnd6
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at No. 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
Steal is underselling it; Rasheen Ali at pick No. 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
A tidy little value on Cody Schrader in the 217th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in Round 6, Pick 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 220, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
They talked themselves into Keilan Robinson at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Jha'Quan Jackson still on the board at the 222nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Layden Robinson
Value with a capital V on Layden Robinson in slot 225, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
KT Leveston
They let KT Leveston come to them and pounced at No. 226. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in the 228th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231
Rnd7

Rnd7
Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III in the 235th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Nice patience on Trey Taylor, who had no business lasting to No. 240. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in pick No. 241 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
A big swing on Jarrett Kingston at slot 242, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Frank Crum
They went early on Frank Crum in the 243rd pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
A real head-scratcher, X'Zauvea Gadlin in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick253
Rnd7
