Larceny in No. 104 lands the Cardinals a B, Golday and all.

Call it larceny. Jake Golday sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 4, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Colton Hood
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Colton Hood in No. 34. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy is a better player than Round 3, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They robbed the room for Jake Golday here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
