FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed linebacker, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. Murphy II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 66th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at Round 3, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 90 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They liked Blake Fisher enough to skip the value, taking him in the 110th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick162
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in slot 162 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They paid up for Joe Milton III at the 186th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 226th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
