You build a draft on nights like this. Chris Bell had no business being available in the 65th pick, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Miller reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
They paid sticker price for David Bailey in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A premium they did not need to pay, Blake Miller a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They will replay Chris Bell at Round 3, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
