The Cardinals spent real capital to be 72 picks early on Blake Miller, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
However the rest shakes out, Lawson at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quinn Ewers. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They reached into another round for Blake Miller, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rylie Mills this early at slot 89. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in pick 117, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach the 152nd pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
