The Cardinals let Lew fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to pick No. 104, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Fred Warner chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 3rd pick they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick104
Rnd4
Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 4, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd7
Ted Hurst
The board fumbled Ted Hurst all the way to No. 217, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
