The rest of the league had time to spare on Kobe Hudson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at the 151st pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Stutsman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Shavon Revel Jr. · CB · rank 16
In pick 16 they get an island corner. More want than need.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Marcus Mbow · OT · rank 59
They went early on Marcus Mbow in slot 47, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 114
Kyle McCord in Round 3, Pick 14 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.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 114 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.14 · Pick 151 · Kobe Hudson · WR · rank 191
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kobe Hudson in the 151st overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
