FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Carson Beck went at No. 36, a good 85 picks before the board was ready.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Rodriguez pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The veteran additions, Tristan Wirfs chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 15th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at No. 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 35th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36
Rnd2
Carson Beck
They reached into another round for Carson Beck, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
They talked themselves into Derrick Moore at slot 38, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at No. 39 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
The board had cheaper options than Germie Bernard at the 52nd pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
No drama and no debate, Treydan Stukes went about where he belonged in the 65th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick66
Rnd3
Dani Dennis-Sutton
They reached a country mile for Dani Dennis-Sutton at slot 66, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 79 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in pick 84, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
