The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Solomon tumbling to the Cardinals in the 133rd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Cardinals indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In pick No. 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In the 28th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
A clean, defensible pick in the 66th pick with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
Good price on Marist Liufau in slot 90, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
Fair-plus on Michael Hall Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
They let Tyler Davis come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 33. Quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg slid further than he should have, and pick 140 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 187
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in No. 188; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 218
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Neyor in Round 7, Pick 7. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
