FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 5 slot on Keilan Robinson a full 107 spots early.
Landing Davis that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Rnd6
Braelon Allen
They will replay Braelon Allen at Round 6, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Cam Hart
They robbed the room for Cam Hart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193
Rnd6
Erick All
You do not let a tight end like Erick All reach the 193rd pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to slot 198, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A tight end of that caliber at pick 200 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 201st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202
Rnd6
Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at Round 6, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 205th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in pick No. 207. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Value with a capital V on Javion Cohen in Round 6, Pick 33, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 210 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in the 212th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than pick No. 215 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick218
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at slot 218 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
A wild overpay on Jackson Sirmon in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jacob Monk
A reach for Jacob Monk in pick 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at the 226th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at the 228th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231
Rnd7
Omar Speights
They left a pile of value on the table to take Omar Speights this early at slot 231. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kalen King
Kalen King at Round 7, Pick 18 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Bub Means
Bub Means slipping to pick No. 240 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Taylor in the 241st pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick242
Rnd7
Matt Lee
They reached a country mile for Matt Lee at the 242nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in No. 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
A slide stopped in pick 249, with Dylan McMahon worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at Round 7, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Raym. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
X'Zauvea Gadlin in slot 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
