Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 16: the Cardinals steal Stewart and grade out a B.

The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Shemar Stewart, the No. 51 name on the board, in the 80th pick.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 18 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in the 80th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Taaffe. A minor need, but a need all the same.
