Williams should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Isaiah Williams slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at pick 225. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
No edge and no loss on Chop Robinson in No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
Fair-plus on Jonathon Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 65
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in Round 3, Pick 7. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil at the 90th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
A slide stopped in the 104th overall pick, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray in pick 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
The board had Jordan Travis higher than the Round 5 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 170
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Andru Phillips in the 188th pick, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 199
Austin Stogner in Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 198
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Williams reach slot 225 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 220
Nothing to complain about; Jontrey Hunter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 231
They robbed the room for Steele Chambers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
