Thirty-one other rooms let Tai Felton slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at No. 153. Highway robbery.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 17th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 54, where Jonah Savaiinaea graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A reach for Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in pick 81, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They will replay Deone Walker at No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
No edge and no loss on Jordan Phillips in slot 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Value with a capital V on Jalen Milroe in Round 4, Pick 17, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Tai Felton in the 153rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
