Call it larceny. Miyan Williams sat on the board until the 234th pick, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In pick 7 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 21
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
Jordan Morgan slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
Chris Braswell slipping to the 66th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to the 90th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Somehow Mike Sainristil was still sitting there in pick No. 104, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson is a better player than No. 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 4 is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 163
LaDarius Henderson at No. 190 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 208
Omar Speights at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 204
Miyan Williams in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
The board fumbled Kenny Logan Jr. all the way to pick No. 240, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
