The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Josh Cameron, the No. 191 name on the board, in slot 217. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Francis Mauigoa · OT · rank 6
Francis Mauigoa in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 27
Dillon Thieneman at the 34th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 59
A tidy little value on Christen Miller in Round 3, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 92
A quiet steal in the 104th pick: Sam Hecht for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.3 · Pick 143 · Hezekiah Masses · CB · rank 139
Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 143 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.2 · Pick 183 · Bryce Boettcher · LB · rank 176
They did well to land Bryce Boettcher in No. 183, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Josh Cameron · WR · rank 191
Josh Cameron in slot 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
