The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Bru McCoy, taking him 39 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 69
Javon Bullard in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 94
Value said wait; McKinnley Jackson in the 71st pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 85
They took Christian Mahogany at par in pick No. 82, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 111
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khyree Jackson this early at slot 89. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 149
They paid a round early for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 133, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 160
Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 5, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 188
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 208
JD Bertrand at the 188th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 215
Isaiah Williams slipping to pick No. 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Bru McCoy · WR · rank 266
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bru McCoy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
