FutureA+
Jones should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a A-. Call it larceny. Elijah Jones sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 2, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Boyd has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
In the end it comes back to Troy Fautanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They read the board right and Chop Robinson was the payoff at pick No. 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in No. 44: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
A slide stopped in slot 66, with Jermaine Burton worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the 81st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in the 112th overall pick with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Somehow Elijah Jones was still sitting there in No. 138, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 162 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at pick No. 169 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Nothing to complain about; Ro Torrence went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219
Rnd6
Erick All
The board had Erick All higher than the Round 6 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caedan Wallace at slot 226. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
