The Cardinals let Ward fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Cam Ward, the No. 50 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 72.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 7
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 42
Barrett Carter in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 50
Cam Ward in Round 3, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.8 · Pick 104 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 106
No edge and no loss on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R5.8 · Pick 136 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 136
No drama and no debate, Tommi Hill went about where he belonged in the 136th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
