Larceny in pick No. 196 lands the Cardinals a B-, McCall and all.

Call it larceny. Grayson McCall sat on the board until the 196th overall pick, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Every board in the league had Fatheree II lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis slipping to the 36th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A reach on Anthony Belton in pick No. 68; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Steal is underselling it; Drew Allar at pick 100 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd5 Reuben Fatheree II
They reached a country mile for Reuben Fatheree II at the 132nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd6 Mario Williams
The board fumbled Mario Williams all the way to Round 6, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd7 Grayson McCall
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 196 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
