A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Dayon Hayes. He came off 153 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Bond falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 47 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than pick 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at the 153rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick No. 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
