The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Javon Foster, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The McKinstry steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In No. 5 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 3, where Kool-Aid McKinstry graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braden Fiske at the 66th overall pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at slot 90, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
