Slaughter should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B. When a board-topper like Jake Slaughter slides to Round 4, Pick 4, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not.
They will need Crawford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 2, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65
Rnd3
Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford in pick No. 65 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Taking Chase Bisontis in pick 78 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 104th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143
Rnd5
Chris McClellan
By-the-book stuff, Chris McClellan at the 143rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Taylen Green
They paid sticker price for Taylen Green in slot 189, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217
Rnd7
Josh Cameron
They robbed the room for Josh Cameron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
Good price on Le'Veon Moss in Round 7, Pick 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
