The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 98 name on the board, sitting there at No. 153 like a gift left on the doorstep.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Benjamin Morrison at slot 57 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 78th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A slide stopped in the 113th pick, with Jaylin Noel worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 114, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to No. 153, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
