Nobody else had Ozzy Trapilo anywhere near pick No. 22. The Cardinals did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Peebles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 22 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Aeneas Peebles slipping to the 53rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
