FutureF
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Cody Schrader; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 52 spots ahead at No. 122. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Goncalves. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback went begging. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 18th overall pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the 28th pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 31 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Corley this early at slot 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick39
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Payton Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 61; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 72 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They reached a country mile for Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 90: Michael Hall Jr. for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They liked Maason Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in the 100th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent slot 103 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick104
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 104th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Value with a capital V on Cole Bishop in No. 114, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dallin Holker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in pick 122, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, DeWayne Carter in the 135th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mekhi Wingo
They barely believed it either: Mekhi Wingo still on the board at pick No. 137. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
They robbed the room for Cedric Gray here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at Round 5, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson is a better player than the 164th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 168 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in the 171st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jha'Quan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 5, Pick 39 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.
Pick186
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid a round early for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 186, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in slot 190 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 226 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They went early on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 239, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
