Train DRAFTING FOR THECardinals

More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Jahvaree Ritzie went at slot 225, a good 48 picks before the board was ready.
However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Deone Walker a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Will Howard
Will Howard slipping to slot 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at pick 152 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jahvaree Ritzie
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jahvaree Ritzie well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
