FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
Thomas Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 4th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In slot 21 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in No. 35, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at pick No. 66, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 7. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 104th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Value with a capital V on Ray Davis in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to pick 140 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick188
Rnd6
T.J. Sanders
They liked T.J. Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 188. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Omar Speights
A slide stopped in pick No. 225, with Omar Speights worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
A reach on Miles Frazier in the 227th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
