The Cardinals won the night they stopped Newton from sliding. Grade: F. The Cardinals torched the value chart for Andrew Coker, taking him 66 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 40th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at No. 66 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They barely believed it either: Payton Wilson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 7. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They let Marshawn Kneeland come to them and pounced at pick No. 88. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in the 91st pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Michael Hall Jr. in the 97th overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in slot 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A reach on Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dominick Puni reach Round 4, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They will replay Cole Bishop at pick 132 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 138th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in the 139th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Keegan at pick No. 145 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
They did well to land Anthony Gould in No. 147, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 159th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A tidy little value on Kamal Hadden in No. 172, a step better than break-even. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Logan Lee
A big swing on Logan Lee at pick 179, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185
Rnd6
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 185th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick No. 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in Round 6, Pick 25 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203
Rnd6
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at No. 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Josh Newton
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick205
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brevyn Spann-Ford. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A real head-scratcher, Kimani Vidal in pick 206 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
The board had cheaper options than Myles Murphy at the 207th overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 208, where Trente Jones graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in slot 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at Round 6, Pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215
Rnd6
Andrew Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Coker in Round 6, Pick 40, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at slot 218 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick222
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in the 222nd pick, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jaylan Ford in pick 223, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at the 229th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to No. 230, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232
Rnd7
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 232 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Steal is underselling it; Javontae Jean-Baptiste at Round 7, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Somehow Edefuan Ulofoshio was still sitting there in pick No. 257, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
