A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B+. For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.
The cost of the Mitchell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 11th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 1, Pick 23 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
