The Cardinals let Gore Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Frank Gore Jr. got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at the 224th pick.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in slot 35, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to No. 66. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zach Frazier at Round 3, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Corley at the Round 3 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 105th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick137
Rnd5
Dominick Puni
The board fumbled Dominick Puni all the way to pick 137, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Taking Dallin Holker in the 188th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
