The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Cornelius: A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ajani Cornelius, the No. 114 name on the board, stolen at No. 195. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in pick 58, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They did well to land Jack Bech in pick No. 78, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
A tidy little value on Mason Taylor in slot 89, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
The board had cheaper options than Cam Skattebo at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Fair-plus on Jordan Phillips, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at the 132nd pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jordan James
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jordan James in No. 153, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 195 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
They will replay Pat Bryant at the 211th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
A slide stopped in the 243rd pick, with LaJohntay Wester worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
