Call it larceny. Jared Wilson sat on the board until No. 153, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Caldwell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Booker in the 47th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to No. 78, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They liked Jamaree Caldwell enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 114. The roster fit checks out.
Jared Wilson in pick 153 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
