Arizona Cardinals

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Cam Miller, 100 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That Grant pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 14
In slot 16 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 23
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 102
Value said wait; Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 78 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.12 · Pick 113 · Vernon Broughton · DL · rank 141
Vernon Broughton in the 113th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.14 · Pick 151 · Cam Miller · QB · rank 251
A wild overpay on Cam Miller in Round 5, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
