Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cardinals a D, Allen and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how CJ Allen got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

If Roberts pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 3rd pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kadyn Proctor
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kadyn Proctor reach pick No. 34 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zion Young
Steal is underselling it; Zion Young at Round 3, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Avieon Terrell
Circle this one: Avieon Terrell at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in pick 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at slot 183 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
