FutureD
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Cody Schrader, 85 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The Sweat 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. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In slot 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 31st overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick32
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at Round 1, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braden Fiske in the 37th pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 47. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at No. 48, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They went early on Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 49, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They liked Zach Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 18. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at the 53rd pick, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 65 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in the 66th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 67 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They barely believed it either: Troy Franklin still on the board at pick No. 68. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 7. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
The board had Patrick Paul higher than the 78th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in No. 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Cody Schrader
A big swing on Cody Schrader at slot 89, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 90 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach Round 3, Pick 37 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 108th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beaux Limmer. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at slot 130, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Value said wait; Brandon Coleman in the 135th pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at pick 138. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They took Dallin Holker at par in Round 5, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Taking Beau Brade in No. 162 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick168
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick No. 168 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in the 169th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in No. 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in Round 6, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at slot 186 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Crumedy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They paid up for Eric Watts at pick No. 218 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 222 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.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 226th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jawhar Jordan. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in pick 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 253 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
They reached into another round for Decamerion Richardson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
