Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Nazir Stackhouse. He came off 80 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in No. 47, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reach for Danny Stutsman in the 78th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 4, Pick 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
They liked Dorian Strong enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 153. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
