Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Christian Jones selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 50 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Thrash at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In slot 15 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 68
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in No. 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 7. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 91
They will replay Jamari Thrash at the 110th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 132
Jordan Travis at pick No. 121 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 150
A conviction pick on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 133rd pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 190
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Jones. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
They liked Braiden McGregor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 188. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 195
No edge and no loss on De'Corian Clark in No. 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 215
Darius Muasau in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
