Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hall Jr.. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the 27th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 2, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at the 71st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Michael Hall Jr. in No. 90, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
They went early on Mekhi Wingo in pick 103, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
