FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 116 picks early on Keilan Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.

Darius Robinson
In pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19

Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 19 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In pick No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
They paid up for Jordan Morgan at Round 1, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick27
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.

Rnd1
Braden Fiske

Pick33
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They liked Chris Braswell enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A real head-scratcher, Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Haynes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in the 51st overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52
Rnd2
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 52nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick No. 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
They reached a country mile for Marshawn Kneeland at slot 58, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A slide stopped in the 60th pick, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 61st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick63
Rnd2
Max Melton
A conviction pick on Max Melton at slot 63 that the board grades a round light. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick64
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at pick 64, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in No. 71. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A reach on Dominick Puni in slot 75; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Austin Booker in No. 87. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the 90th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
You do not let a safety like Kamren Kinchens reach the 93rd overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dallin Holker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallin Holker well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 96 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 3, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A clean, defensible pick in the 100th pick with a little surplus value in Malik Washington. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke McCaffrey this early at No. 102. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick 103 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in slot 104 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 108th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They reached into another round for Mohamed Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
By-the-book stuff, Javon Solomon at pick No. 112 squarely in line with his ranking. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A real head-scratcher, Jalyx Hunt in Round 4, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 122. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 124th 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.
Pick125
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in No. 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Delmar Glaze
They left a pile of value on the table to take Delmar Glaze this early at the 131st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4

Pick137
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick138
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Nothing to complain about; Beau Brade went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick139
Rnd5

Pick152
Rnd5

Pick196
Rnd6
