ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Howard: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Howard tumbling to the Cardinals in slot 153 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Broughton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In pick 16 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at Round 4, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 153rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
