Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Tre Harris, the No. 17 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 178. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 15
In the 8th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
Circle this one: Travis Hunter at No. 39 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 3
Ashton Jeanty at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 68
Donovan Jackson in the 106th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 7
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cam Ward in pick No. 142, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 17
Taking Tre Harris in pick 178 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
