The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Andrew Coker. He came off 91 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
Jacobs falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 28th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Fair-plus on Jordan Morgan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
You do not let a cornerback like Cooper DeJean reach No. 47 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 53, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell is a better player than slot 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 64th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 66 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A tidy little value on Bralen Trice in No. 69, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They did well to land Kiran Amegadjie in the 71st pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Renardo Green. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in the 80th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They jumped the gun on Malik Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 3, Pick 20 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 94 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland slid further than he should have, and pick 96 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in slot 111, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They will replay Dominick Puni at pick No. 122 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to No. 129. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Steal is underselling it; Christian Mahogany at the 130th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
They barely believed it either: Jalen McMillan still on the board at Round 4, Pick 31. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Sione Vaki
They talked themselves into Sione Vaki at the 133rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick138
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in No. 154 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Circle this one: Roger Rosengarten at the 158th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They reached into another round for Brandon Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tahj Washington
They liked Tahj Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 172. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 173rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in pick No. 186 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in slot 188 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
Andrew Coker at Round 6, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
They took Delmar Glaze at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 196th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd6
Eric Watts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Watts. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
The board fumbled Walter Rouse all the way to Round 6, Pick 24, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A tidy bit of business in the 200th overall pick, where Tanor Bortolini graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at the 203rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jawhar Jordan this early at the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in No. 209 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in pick 220 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson at pick No. 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
Value with a capital V on Jaden Crumedy in No. 236, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 237th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Decamerion Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Decamerion Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
