FutureF
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Andrew Coker in the Round 5 slot, a good 124 spots before the room expected him.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Laube. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Hit on Braden Fiske and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in slot 47 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A tidy bit of business in the 60th pick, where Adisa Isaac graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
DJ James
DJ James in pick 66 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in No. 69 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72
Rnd3
Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in the 72nd pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 73, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 78th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They reached a country mile for Zak Zinter at pick 79, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mekhi Wingo. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in Round 3, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Somehow Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in pick 92, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick98
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 102nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 104th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Value said wait; Jacob Cowing in the 106th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalyx Hunt this early at pick No. 115. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cole Bishop at the 116th overall pick is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at slot 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
A real head-scratcher, Cody Schrader in Round 4, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at No. 119, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They reached into another round for Trevor Keegan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Gould a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick139
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at the 141st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick No. 144 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in the 147th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at Round 5, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Brennan Jackson at pick No. 153 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Layden Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at No. 155 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156
Rnd5
Andrew Coker
A big swing on Andrew Coker at pick 156, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
They read the board right and Justin Eboigbe was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in the 161st pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 162 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
No edge and no loss on Kamal Hadden in the 168th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kimani Vidal
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They talked themselves into Justin Rogers at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They jumped the gun on Brandon Coleman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jawhar Jordan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jawhar Jordan this early at slot 175. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
The board had cheaper options than Tahj Washington at pick No. 179, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A reach for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 184; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
They barely believed it either: Marcus Harris still on the board at the 186th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in Round 6, Pick 17 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 194th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 196, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Laube in the 198th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 203 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 205 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208
Rnd6
Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in pick 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They took Zion Tupuola-Fetui at par in slot 209, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They went early on JD Bertrand in the 213th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They reached a country mile for Andrew Raym at No. 220, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They liked Edefuan Ulofoshio enough to skip the value, taking him in the 225th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in pick No. 226 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235
Rnd7
Cedric Johnson
The board had Cedric Johnson higher than Round 7, Pick 15, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They paid a round early for Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 29, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
A real head-scratcher, X'Zauvea Gadlin in the 253rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
