Larceny in Round 4, Pick 13 lands the Cardinals a B-, Ewers and all.

When a board-topper like Quinn Ewers slides to the 115th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Conerly Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and slot 47 is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A tidy little value on Isaiah Bond in the 78th pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Quinn Ewers in pick 115, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They liked Ryan Fitzgerald enough to skip the value, taking him in the 152nd overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 225 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
